Janko De Beer

Janko de Beer is a South African artist based in Cape Town. He obtained his law degree (LLB) in 2003 and is also an Advocate of the High Court of South Africa.

Janko has since 2017 been sculpting full time as a professional artist.

Recently a finalist for a Global Art Award, Janko’s work has featured in many solo and group exhibi- tions, and over the past couple of years he has established a substantial international following; his work has sold to private collectors in Turkey, England, Scotland, Belgium, Australia, Dubai and Monaco.

His work has been widely featured in the media, both in print and broadcast interviews. His contributions to the Make a Difference Leadership Foundation have been especially gratifying, with a bronze horse bust, titled Mischief, fetching R500 000 at their 2016 auction in London.

“As an artist his sculptures are unique, outspoken and not easily forgotten.” — SA Creative Network Magazine

Janko is inspired by found objects collected from nature and various beaches around South Africa. Spending a lot of time outdoors, Janko collects rocks, wood, kelp and other natural materials which pos- sess interesting shapes, textures and colours to use in his sculptures.
