About Pieter
Pieter has dedicated himself to his painting craft for the past several decades. His focus on landscape painting has largely been unwavering - generally in his chosen medium of oil on canvas, but occasionally in other media too.
The influence of the Everard group on his landscape work is clear, particularly that of Ruth Everard Haden, whose characteristic landscapes exhibited nationally and internationally between the 1930s and 1950s, demonstrate a varied and subtle appreciation of perspective, scene and colour palette.
In a similar vein Janse van Rensburg sees his landscapes with a different eye: the natural burnt and umber hues of the typical inland South African landscape take on a fantastical tinge in his considered yet vibrant brush strokes. His oranges and reds burst forth from the Browns and yellows of the mountainous landscapes he is so fond of. Other landscapes often feature rivers and pools their fecundity realised in an even wider palette of blues, deep mauves and yellows.
Van Rensburg's style follows the impressionistic leaning favoured by the Everard Group, eschewing realism in the depiction of landscape in favour of a multitude of symbolic colours and brushwork, each new scene taking on a living identity. In some dream-like landscapes, figures appear, floating as if from another, more spiritual realm. In others, a calm and empty mountainside holds it's secrets to itself.
The artist has honed his craft over many years and has been in the fortunate position of travelling and exhibiting widely. His teaching has also benefited many others in learning to express themselves and their relation to the world through art.
I have no hesitation in recommending Pieter Janse van Rensburg as an artist and see a dedicated professional in all respects.
