FIELDS Life

Cape Town-based artist Paul Senyol reflects on the everyday observations that shape his practice, the making of New Dawn for FIELDS Collection 15, and finding optimism in colour, movement and moments of beauty.

Working with materials we tend to disregard, South African artist Chris Soal builds surfaces that shift between the ordinary and the unexpected, asking a simple question: what else are we failing to see?

A conversation with artist and founder of The Ninevites, Nkuli Mlangeni-Berg, on heritage, storytelling, and our collaboration on the Zenzile Design, woven in the Karoo, inspired by Miriam Makeba, and rooted in the quiet power of craft.

For this season’s Artist Series, we collaborated with South African artist Gabrielle Kruger, known for pushing the boundaries of paint as a material. The result? A collection that weaves art and menswear together, layering texture, movement, and narrative into every piece.

 

 

Explore South African artist Michael Taylor’s collaboration with FIELDS, blending his expressive artistry with luxury menswear in a limited-edition collection  that marries elegance, story-telling, and craftsmanship.

We speak to the artist about his creative process, the inspiration behind the collaboration with FIELDS, and the significance of intuition and ritual.

For our ninth collection, 'Conscious Grounding', we collaborated with South African artist, Shakil Solanki, for our FIELDS x Artist Collaboration series. We interviewed him about his creative process, the inspiration behind our Artist Collaboration sweater, the significance of friendship, owning one's identity, and his preference for shades of blue.

For our eighth collection, 'Self-Belief', we approached Cape Town-based artist, Hugh Byrne, to collaborate on our Fields x Artist Collaboration Series. We chat to him here about his work, the collaboration and more. 

For our seventh collection, 'Lighting Momentum', we approached Johannesburg-based artist, Khotso Motsoeneng, to collaborate on our Artist's Sweater. We chatted to him about growing up around artists, working with FIELDS and looking beyond the surface.

For our sixth collection, 'Living with Contrast', we approached Johannesburg based multidisciplinary artist, Mbali Dhlamini, to collaborate on our Artist's Sweater. We chatted to her about childhood memories, working with FIELDS and her artistic practice.

In this post we ask Renée a couple of questions referencing her collaboration with FIELDS, her processes when creating a piece of art, and what she hopes to communicate with her images. 

For our second collection, we reached out to visual artist and graphic designer Kim Van Vuuren to collaborate with us. As one of two South African creators we have chosen to work with on our Building Connections collection, Kim’s simple yet dramatic forms evoke a sense of wonder for the viewer.
