About Pearl

Pearl Pols was born in Grahamstown. She was introduced to painting by her mother, an accomplished artist, at an early age. Early in her career, she received numerous commissions from the Transvaal Provincial Administration to paint the coat of arms of the Republic of South Africa. A formal introduction by Chris Tugwell to flower studies in oils and acrylic, with which her name has become synonymous, followed and this led to a full-time art career.

In 1984 Pearl was invited to take part in an exhibition at the Maud Street Gallery in Johannesburg, and shortly after at the Landau Gallery in Johannesburg. Since then Pearl has exhibited at the Sandton Gallery in Johannesburg, the Edrich Gallery in Stellenbosch, and currently at the Chris Tugwell Galleries, both in Brooklyn, Pretoria and Kosmos.

In the past, Pearl has managed her own art gallery and now manages on a part-time basis the Chris Tugwell Gallery in Kosmos.

Pearl's technique in her flower studies reflects vitality and sensitivity. The generous use of light flowing easily on her canvas, the attention to detail, combined with her ability to merge fleeting suggestions of impressionism and realism reflects the reality of the poetic beauty of flowers. Her work is not only confined to depicting flowers in oil and acrylic, as she also paints landscapes and portraits.
