Knysna Fine Art presents Terra incognita, a group exhibition bringing together contemporary landscapes by a wide range of South African artists. On view from October 31 to November 30, 2026, the exhibition explores landscape as a space of uncertainty, change and discovery. Its title evokes territories beyond familiar boundaries, suggesting shifting perspectives, unknown horizons and geographies that resist fixed interpretations. Through diverse artistic approaches, the participating artists consider the relationship between people and the environments they inhabit.
The exhibition features works by Angela Banks, Lisl Barry, Hein Botha, Anton Brink, Arabella Caccia, Phillemon Hlungwani, Fumani Maluleke, Gerhard Marx, Norman O’Flynn, Jolene Olivier, Greg Schultz, Guy Thesen, Walter Voigt and many others. Moving across painting, photography, sculpture and mixed media, the works present landscapes in multiple forms, ranging from recognisable natural environments and expansive horizons to more abstract, personal and imaginative interpretations. Together, they reveal the different ways in which artists observe, experience and transform the world around them.
Through these contrasting perspectives, Terra incognita approaches the landscape as a metaphor for the human journey, encompassing beauty, wonder, uncertainty and the sublime as well as more unsettling experiences. Rather than offering a single vision of the natural world, the exhibition invites visitors to explore unfamiliar territories and reconsider their relationship with the environment.
