IN a significant artistic endeavour to honour the legacy of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, the Stellenbosch International Chamber Music Festival (SICMF) has announced the commission of a unique commemorative artwork.

This year marks the festival’s 20th anniversary, and Artistic Director Nina Schumann has engaged renowned South African pointillist Gavin Rain to create a portrait of Tutu, a cherished late patron of the festival.

Gavin Rain, celebrated for his innovative technique using small circles that blend light and dark to form images, aims to create a breathtaking tribute that embodies the spirit of community the SICMF has nurtured over the past two decades.

Rain, whose exhibitions span across major cities including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Venice, and Miami, will be employing a new method for this commissioned piece unlike anything seen before globally.
