Paintings with amazing textures and colors, mixed media sculptures, and she has been featured in multiple biennials?! We are starstruck by the impressive work of South African artist Natasja de Wet. We hope you enjoy learning about her work as much as we did!
South
African artist, Natasja de Wet, studied fine art and graphic design at the
Tschwane University of Technology, and continued to study drawing and painting
at the University of South Africa (UNISA). After becoming interested in portraying
human psyche in art, she studied psychophonetics at Persephone College. In
2017, she completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art at the Michaelis School
of Fine Art (University of Cape Town), graduating with distinction.
She describes her work as aiming to
reveal the inner character, or soft underbelly of human kind. Use of mixed
media and assemblage allow her examine internal experiences such as growth, insecurity,
sexuality, flux, and various expressions of the human psyche.
Recently, her solo exhibition
Melancholia, was shown at the Pathology Museum, UCT Pathology Learning Centre
in Cape Town. She has shown work throughout South Africa (including biennials),
as well as the Florence Biennale in 2009, Turkey, The Netherlands, and Finland.
