An exhibition of plein air and studio paintings of the Swartland
Artist’s statement
In these works, I explore my body’s response to the landscape. Whilst holding an awareness of the political and ecological pressures on the land, I allow my senses to experience a more universal engagement. The visual world is my connection to the strangeness of being here, and it is through painting that I allow the viewer to share my sense of wonder in the world around me.
Distant Vlei, 110 x 130cm
The vast Swartland landscapes, comprised of farmlands, settlements and small patches of endangered renosterveld, speak to me of the fragility of our world.
