The university town of Stellenbosch is a very special place and home to many artists.

We present artists of the Stellenbosch area
and are busy compiling a list of artists

  • who live or have lived in Stellenbosch
  • who worked or studied here and
  • who have already exhibited their work in a renown gallery

These pages will be included in a book and on CD, Stellenbosch Artists. See an example
Artists will get a double page in the book with many photos of their work. If you want to feature in the book, please contact us now. Your suggestions are very welcome!
You are invited to order your own gallery at a discount! See 2 examples Strijdom and Peter

Anton Kannemeyer
"The beauty of Mr. Kannemeyer's work is in the jarringly funny contrast between its cheerful, seemingly innocent style and its reflection of the hideous underbelly of South African politics and society."

Quote of the day:
El arte es la mentira que nos permite comprender la verdad
(Pablo Picasso)
art is the lie that makes us realize truth

El arte sacude del alma el polvo acumulado en la vida diaria
Pablo Picasso

Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso
Hace falta mucho, mucho tiempo para ser joven
Pablo Picasso
It takes a very long time to become young
