About "Fire at Schoenmakerskop" I live in a nature reserve. In 2004 it was devastated by a bush fire and the animals and fynbos wiped out. Our houses were threatened and the heat and smoke were surreal and appalling. A year or so later I was working on a large canvas and looking for an environment for my figures. The image of the fire, the smoke and the ruined landscape came quite spontaneously and I decided to leave the landscape without figures. This is the only non-figurative work I have done since my 20's. |
