ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This was painted during the first weeks of total lockdown in South Africa hence the title 'Four Twenty Twenty' meaning April 2020. It is also Fall or as we call it Autumn at this time of year. In that sense, it is an autumnal scene. I have a view of the city from my studio window, what I did was to try focus on the urban view, looking at the patterns created by the buildings and then to overlay with the more accurately painted falling leaves which I gathered from my garden. I wish to somehow portray the sense of melancholia I experienced at the onset of the pandemic.

I am a South African artist living and working in Cape Town. I was born and raised in Johannesburg, I attended a high school that specialised in the arts, after which I attended WITS university, doing a BA Fine Arts Degree and a postgraduate Higher Diploma in Education. Five years after my tertiary education I was fortunate enough to be selected to participate in the 2 year program at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam where I was advised by an international array of advisors for example Luc Teymans, Matt Mullican, Lisa Milroy and Dan Graham amongst others. I have exhibited locally and internationally alongside luminaries like Louise Bourgeois, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Berlinde de Bruyckere and others. I have been painting and drawing ever since I can remember. My subjects vary, I have a fascination with the transient and the poetic potential of any subject I portray. This in combination with the title becomes the field within which I allow myself the freedom to make something that communicates on some personal or emotional level with the viewer and the world around me. Often my subjects are connected to memory, both personal and collective memory.
