PICTOREX
Pictorex Photographic Gallery and Print Studio, founded in 2015 by William and Mary Walker, stands as a bastion of artistic integrity and craftsmanship in an era dominated by fleeting digital imagery. With a steadfast commitment to preserving the timeless art of printed photography, Pictorex provides a sanctuary for photographers seeking to transcend the ephemeral nature of social media platforms.
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a meticulous attention to detail, the fully color-managed print studio ensures the utmost accuracy in reproducing images, utilizing archival papers and inks to guarantee longevity for each masterpiece. The genesis of Pictorex can be traced back to 2011 when William Walker embarked on a transformative print workshop led by luminaries R. Mac Holbert and John Paul Caponigro.
This year, as part of the esteemed Solo Studios event, Pictorex proudly presents its thematic exhibition, “Printed at Pictorex,” showcasing a stellar lineup of both local photographers and acclaimed artists. Among the featured talents are Rudolph Willemse and the visionary duo of Mary and William Walker. Their captivating prints stand in dialogue with works by distinguished artists such as Tanya Majo, Greta McMahon, Johan Viljoen and Lousia Gerryts, offering a multifaceted exploration of the power and beauty of printed photography. Complementing the exhibition are exquisite sculptures by the talented Jacky Lloyd, further enriching the visual tapestry that defines the Pictorex experience.
