Ateljee

Continuing the family’s passion for art, the Ateljee is an exciting creative space for guests to engage with artworks, artists and makers.


AMONG THE TREES

Without summer’s foliage and soft greens, winter's stripped landscape gives us the opportunity to explore and enjoy the unexpected beauty of the season - the curvilinear gables and elegant symmetry of Wineland's architecture as well as the often-hidden qualities and rhythms of winter taking place among the trees.

And this is the inspiration for the current art exhibition in the La Motte Ateljee.

Among the Trees takes the interval between winter and spring as its point of departure, bringing together a group of South African artists working across painting, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, installation, sound, and material experimentation. The exhibition considers how the surrounding natural world is encountered, interpreted, and translated through artistic practice. The landscape emerges not as a fixed image but as a layered and evolving experience that can be seen, touched, heard, tasted, remembered, and imagined and guests are invited to an immersive experience that extends beyond visual experience through a series of exciting workshops and interdisciplinary collaborations that explore alternative ways such as taste and sound to encounter the landscape.
