The following is a introduction to a few of the artists.Information taken from
other websites and webpages.
Adriaan
Boshoff is one of the great impressionists painting today. He is a reclusive
man, an artist who is only really happy in his studio surrounded by paint and
canvass.But, if any art can be termed an investment, Boshoff’s work comes the
closest.Lovers of good art will seldom reach unanimous agreement on who is
really the eminence grise of local contemporary painters. But a panel of fellow
artists may well field a majority of nominations for one of the enigmas of
modern art, a man who shuns the limelight, yet consistently creates some of the
most exquisite art made anywhere in the world.
Adriaan Boshoff is a true impressionist, a man who may make hundreds of sketches
before embarking on his paintings. It is this dedication to perfection,
coupled with a rare talent and creative ability, that catapults Boshoff into the
forefront of South African artists. He wasn’t always so enjoyed. There
were times in his earlier life, recalls his daughter, Louise Boshoff, when he
ceaselessly traveled from town to town to try to accommodate his churning need
to “move on and discover something new”.Today,
Boshoff works in a new studio built for him at his daughter’s rural home near
Hartebeespoort Dam. He is 70 years old, a man who has embraced Christianity with
all its tenets and strictures. His faith seems to have helped him discover the
inner peace that had so eluded him in his early years – and it is this peace
that the art lover sees in the maturity, the grace and, indeed, the serenity of
his work.Boshoff is first and always a South African and some of his most
memorable works are landscapes depicting the veld with cattle crazing. They have
about them the epitome of that elusive spirit that makes South African émigrés
long for home and dream of sun-baked days on the stubby veld.
Boshoff’s often large canvasses evidence a rare understanding of colour and
balance and that essential ability to capture the fleeting impression that is
the very essence of Impressionism. He is unreservedly a romantic impressionist,
a man who, in the camera of his mind, can retain the precise nuance of an
expression he wishes to impart. This imbues his characters with that upturned
glance – that arched smile – that help make his paintings come alive and which
create a rare concord with the viewer.For some time, he toured the then Rhodesia
on a motorcycle, noting, sketching, remembering. The astonishing variety of his
subjects – from the bleak actuality of a parched stretch of veld to the lush
softness of a mother dressing her daughter – point to a truly unusual eye,
one that has not allowed itself to be seduced by that which is easier, or
habitual, or by that which he personally prefers. Indeed, when one asks Boshoff
to nominate his favourite work, he says, “I haven’t made it yet. It may be the
next one. Or the one after that.”
If Boshoff could be said to have a trademark, it would be that singular ability
to express the passing moment in such a wide variety of work. He backs this up
with a technical ability that is first-rate and an understanding of colour and
harmony that is, quite possibly, unique, at least in South Africa.His work
has been exhibited to acclaim around the world and is collected by enthusiasts
from New York to Auckland. Like so many great artists, he does not work quickly
– he often progresses laboriously to what the untrained eye may acclaim to be
the perfect canvass only to tear it up and start again. He is his own, most
austere critic.Branko Dimitrov . Branko's appearence is the antithesis of what
most people would think of an artist. He's a fully bearded giant of a man who
speaks English slightly hesitantly as one would expect of a Serb who has lived
here for less than 10 years.His art belies his appearance. It is a rarely
concordant blend of colours that ring with vibrancy and a peculiarly
indevidualistic interpretation of a semi-abstract realism, the whole of which is
eye-catchingly effective.Although the colours are bold and imaginative, there is
a harmony to the work that compels in spite of the fact that he looks like a
Slav Goliath, he is an artist with a soul. To say nothing of a perceptive and
very different style. He says he has never had formal art training and, in many
respects, he opposes the concept.
He was born in a vilage 2 000m up in the southern area of former Yugoslavia, a
state that has now changed, with much conflict, into six different countries. He
says that because of such high altitudes, the sky was more vivid, the clouds
more starkly etched. This may be his opinion but, he adds, he immediately
noticed that the sky over Pretoria was similar when he emigrated in 1993,"In
1994 the trouble started in Yugoslavia. It was Christain versus Muslim, Serb
versus Croat and, in spite of the fact that I am a Serb I was not interested in
being part of the violence. I have a wife and, at that stage, two young
daughters. If I had remained, I would have been expected to pick up a gun and
shoot people. I was not prepared to do that." "I came to South Africa because
South Africa was the only country to grant us a visa."
"In the beginning, it was very, very difficult," he says. "For seven months I
had to sell clothing for a fellow Serb who had a business here. But I believe
that if you have an ability and are prepared to keep on trying, you must
eventually have some success. Now my work is shown around South Africa. I am
content." Comparing his life as an artist in Yugoslavia and South Africa. His
answer is perhaps courteously ablique. "We lived in a town known as Kragujevac,
about halfway between the formar capital Belgrade and the second city, Nis, It
is close to the border between Bulgaria and Serbia. Indeed my wife is a
Bulgatian. There was a proper artist colony and we often traveled to places such
as Poland and other areas of Europe to absorb what was new in art and to try and
improve our knowledge. "But people have always struggled in the area where I
lived. You know the events that lead to the first World War happened near there.
It has never been a wealthy district. The average wage was about R800 and I was
getting the equivalent of R200 - R300 for my paintings I could not complain."
Branco started drawing and painting when he was a boy of 13 - "animals mostly" -
and says that his style has evolved as he grew older. He notes that it has
matured in the time he has been in South Africa but says that, no, it hasn't
changed. His fondness for dramatic skies, skies that sometimes dominates his
landscapes, come from his vivid memories of the skies above the village where he
grew up and, of cource, the Highveld skies, sometimes among the most dramatic in
the world. "When I see an image that strikes me I try to file it away in my
memory."
Today Branco's work fetches upto R24 000 for one of his canvases and his work is
growing in popularity. It is not hard to see why.
