Brian Rolfe

Artist Statement:

“I create paintings that are unique to South Africa and the world we live in. My work focuses on the world around me. I do not always create a realistic representation of what I observe but often walk into a landscape and rather paint what I feel than what I see. My work is a celebration of life and the power of the Universe. We have such a strong connection with the Universe, but it is often masked by our strive for existence and survival. I expect my audience, when they see my work, to be triggered by something they know so well but have neglected to acknowledge for some time. To awaken within them a feeling or memory, that will strengthen their connection with the earth and their reason for living”.
