Selwyn Pekeur studied art at school and then went on to qualify as an art teacher in 1980. His first post as a primary school teacher opened his eyes to the use of colour, form and humour.
He was appointed convener of the schools art project and organised workshops and exhibitions for children’s art and young artists. He found himself influenced by their portrayal of life in a primitive and naive genre.
He has convened various art projects and workshops for both fine art and sculpture in the Western Cape. He is a founding member of the E’Bezweni Art Group (E.A.G.), established in Paarl in October 1994.
Selwyn explores humour to bridge the cultural divide rather than redefine the fault lines that separated the communities of the past. Laughter heals.
The bold colours, simple shapes, movement and humorous predica- ments best known by the Coloured and Black communities in the Western Cape, define his work. Selwyn exper- iments with different materials, media and techniques. He has worked as a sculptor, print maker and paints in oil and acrylic.

Gregoire Boonzaier was born in Newlands, Cape Town in 1909. He was the son of the political cartoonist, DC Boonzaier, and benefited from the close contact with his father’s artist friends, including Pieter Wenning, Nita Spilhaus and Moses Kottler, the sculptor. DC Boonzaier was strongly opposed to formal art training, and Gregoire’s initial studies were possible through association with these early Cape impressionist painters.
In 1923, at the age of 14, his first two oil paintings were exhibited at Ashbey’s Gallery in Cape Town - his first successful one-man exhibition was held there two years later. Gregoire went on to hold more than 100 solo exhibitions during his extensive career of more than eighty years. As a founder member of the New Group with Terence McCaw, Frieda Lock, Lippy Lipshitz and others, he was elected its first chairman in 1938. The New Group rendered an invaluable service to the cause of South African art for almost 15 years. Gregoire Boonzaier died on 22 April 2005, a few months before his 96th birthday, having lived an extraordinary life and productive career, during which he was able to serve as a mentor and teacher to generations of South African artists and art lovers.
Tyrone Appollis is a South African artist and poet. He was active in the formation of the Mitchells Plain Art Group in 1988. He has held numerous local and international art exhibitions. A professional artist since the late 1970s, Tyrone Appollis works from the conviction that “an artist must be of his time”.
Tyrone Appollis’s art is rooted in his geographic identity as a Capetonian, in his historic identity as a “coloured” person, in his post-apartheid national identity as a South African, in his non- racial identity as an African, and in his humanistic identity as a member of a global community of artists.
Born in Cape Town in 1957, Appollis studied art part-time at the Community Arts Project under Cecil Skotnes and at the Foundation School of Art in Observatory. In addition to wide recognition for his visual art, he is also well known for his abilities as a poet and musician.
Appollis’s work is represented in several public and private collections in South Africa and abroad.
Pieter was born in the Great Karoo on the farm Hillmoore near Steynsburg in 1952. The family moved to Cape Town in 1958.
Pieter received his school education at the Bellville-South Primary and High Schools where his art talent was discovered and where he received encouragement from his teachers to pursue a career in art.
In the beginning of 1978 he decided to continue his hobby as a painter while working at Nettex SA.
During 1982 he took part in a group exhibition in the Belhar Community Centre and again in 1983 in the Bellville Art Society. It was during this year that he met the well- known South African artist, Gregoire Boonzaier who was a great inspiration in the development of Pieters career as an artist. Pieter embarked on a full- time career as an artist in 1997.
Numerous South African and international art collectors are in possession of his work. He has taken part in over 30 exhibitions of which 5 were solo exhibitions.

Gail Catlin is the first, and possibly the only artist to use liquid crystal as the principal medium in her art. While Catlin lived in Arniston, she became fascinated by the nacreous quality of sea shells and mother-of-pearl, and was convinced that a new colour spectrum needed to be developed to capture the subtle and ever-changing shades of nature.
She experimented with clays and resins and fiberglass, which played with light, when used in sculptural form. She made contact with Dr Cyril Hilsum at General Electric, who had co-invented the hologram, and was a world expert on liquid crystal. He first introduced her to liquid crystal.
Her works have achieved a kind of metastasis —the ability of the artwork to escape fixity and to constantly transform itself like a kaleidoscope. She is probably also one of the first artists to venture into the realm of nanotechnology - the study and manipulation of materials at the molecular level.

Dion Cupido won the Truworths Academy of Visual Arts Award at the Arts and Media Access Centre (AMAC) in 2003. As a teenager from Mitchells Plain, Cupido began creating art as a means of expressing himself. It was only when a friend’s younger brother asked Cupido to help him with a matric art project, that he realised he could paint and that he loved it.
Cupido had left school by then and was doing various casual jobs to help support the family. He wanted to have his paintings in galleries. Gerard Cloete, artist and owner of the Peanut Gallery encouraged Cupido to create a body of work. He used inexpensive industrial ink from his father’s business to paint with.
Peanut Gallery included Cupido’s work in a group exhibition where he sold his first painting in 2000. “It was like coming home. I realised that this is what would make me happy to wake up every morning and I saw it was worth fighting for.”
His most recent work involves what he calls ‘African-Pop portraiture’. Five paintings in the series were on display in his first solo exhibition, ‘Perceptions Of Beauty’, at the Worldart Gallery.
He is a resident at Good Hope Art Studios and his work is included in several prestigious collections, including the Nando’s art collection in London and Beyonce has bought his art.
Tendai was born in 1974 in Marondera, east of Harare. He studied ‘O” Level and “A” Level, gaining distinctions for A Level.

He has participated in many exhibitions locally and in Zimbabwe where his work is characterised by thick brush strokes and vivid colour, people and landscapes. He lives in Harare and is married with two children.

Frank Ross was born in 1953 in Wellington. Frank’s approach to painting is uncomplicated and direct. In his work, the expressive use of line and strong brushwork, amplify his experience. “Colour is important to me. Red symbolises the unhappiness I associate with the problems with land.” His paintings incorporate the people of the Boland: labourers toil in the vineyards, women carry wood or trudge wearily home after a day’s work and strong southern sunsets streak the sky.
Frank has had no formal tuition but has learnt much by being in the company of other artists and observing their work. His work is original as he is unaware of the traditional conventions used to portray the human figure and landscape. His talent was recognised by the E’ bezweni Art Group in 1996.
Frank has had many group and solo exhibitions in South Africa and abroad. He had solo exhibition in Germany in 2012 where all his paintings were sold on the first day of the exhibition.
David Hlongwane completed a four-year course at the Academia di Belle Arte in Perugia in 1991. Today he teaches art to the juveniles in prisons with an empathy born of his own incarceration as a result of his activities in the struggle.
David Hlongwane was born in 1963 in Zwelethemba Township in Worcester. He completed his high school education at Vuyisile High School in Worcester and joined the Community Arts Project in 1984.When his brother, who had been supporting him, was killed, he had to give up his studies. He was arrested several times during the Apartheid era. While in prison he had time to explore his artistic talent. With the support of the Italian Government, David Hlongwane was offered a full grant in 1988 to study art for a year in Perugia, a small town near Florence.
His art found expression in many posters, banners and pamphlets, as well as in his sculptures and paintings. The artist is well known in South Africa where he was the winner of the 1995 Mayibuye Center Sculpture Competition. His work has also been well received in the United States of America, Italy and Germany.
Lesley Charnock, teacher, painter of still lives and portraits, brings oils to life. Step into her studio and teaching space at Montebello Design Centre in Newlands, Cape Town and there is no doubt that you are in Africa. There is vibrant colour, bright sunlight, deep shadows, confident, energetic brush strokes, luscious palette knife work, strong tonal values...and, above all, a love for the diverse people of Africa and its breath taking beauty.
Inspired and stimulated by her many travels through Africa, Lesley finds the subjects for her paintings in the people she sees walking along dusty country roads, working in the fields or herding cattle and tending their flocks. On the streets of the cities she finds people waiting for taxis and buses, selling fruit or flowers, or walking and jogging along a promenade. Whether it’s a landscape, a seascape or a city scene, there is rarely a painting by Lesley without a figure in it.
Then, for a change of pace, you will find portraits full of life and vigour, serene flower studies and striking still life compositions. Her rich, glowing oils have found their way into both private and corporate collections throughout South Africa and around the world.
Liza Littlewort was born in Cape Town, and lives and works in the city. She uses fresh and experimental ways of working with oil paint on different surfaces, calling this methodology “Absurdist” as it creates unexpected, surreal accidents which Littlewort uses to express her sense of the essential absurdity of life. Her sense of the absurd is informed by ideas famously explored by Dadaism: the inherent ridiculousness of neo- imperialist ideology and its effects of global devastation, mass poverty and perpetual war.
Her last solo show “We Live in the Past” critiqued hegemonic narratives of whiteness in comtemporary South Africa. For her forthcoming show in April 2016, she is focussing on what critic Brenden Gray describes as “blind, liberal acceptance of the transcendental properties and goodness of art.” She intends for it to take the form of a kind of magical- realist satire of ‘cottage mysticism’.
Rashid Lombard has photographed both local and international musicians, and has paid particular attention to recording South African musicians-in- exile such as Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba and Abdullah Ibrahim. In 2010, he contributed to the exhibition at the Duotone Gallery at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival. His book of jazz photographs, ‘Jazz Rocks’, was published in 2010. James Matthews, the South African poet and writer, in the foreword to the book observed that “...Lombard’s collection of photographs...is an ode to South Africa’s jazz musicians... Each and every lovingly taken photo displays its empathy with the music and the players."
“Over the years I have spent so much time backstage that the space behind the music is a part of me. Many of the musicians I photographed were far more than just subjects to me. The musicians became my friends and family. We spent many hours honing our skills and teaching each other the politics of the arts.”

Known for her expanding dimension and exuberant colourful paintings, French Corsican artist Catherine Timotei’s work draws inspiration from a diverse array of influences - from Renaissance masters to the 20th Century abstract Expressionism movement.
Her theory of pure colour echoes the powerful impressions left by Hans Hoffmann. Making a painting is almost a physical struggle and reflects the artist’s constant search to give volume presence, between reality and immateriality and between two- dimensional extension and three- dimensional depth. With the moral impulse of the American expressionist heroes strongly entangled she bridges the link between European and American expressionism to develop her own expressive potential.
Her artwork is full of allusions and associations that are not easily deciphered, leaving room for it to take on a diaphanous form.
Catherine Timotei settled in South Africa several years ago and lives in Cape Town.
