An exhibition of oil painting portraits
Artist’s Statement:
This portrait series draws inspiration from the faces
of Durban and the cosmopolitan nature of my city. As a proud and
passionate child of Africa, I find beauty in the diversity of her
people and the vibrancy of her landscapes.
My work is less figurative and more abstract, using colour
and mark-making to convey the energy, spirit and character of each
individual. From the Durban surfer dude to the Afro's enthusiast to
the sassy Clicks cashier, these portraits hope to encapsulate the vigour
and life of this compelling city I call home.
