About Rheta-Mari
RHETA-MARI KOTZE
Born - Luanshya, Zambia
Rheta did her schooling in Zambia & Zimbabwe. She won numerous art competitions, one of which was the Anglo American Calendar Competition.
Rheta studied Graphic Design at Durban Technikon, South Africa.
She then stayed on in Durban & worked in the Silkscreen, Publishing & Advertising Industry, specialising in finished art, layout, design, illustration & studio management.
After working in the commercial art field for 25 years, Rheta decided to leave the corporate world to pursue a full time career in Fine Art. She found that it opened up endless challenges & avenues for experimenting with various mediums & ideas, allowing her to be more creative.
Her love for Navajo Indian jewellery, antique silver jewellery & also sculpture led her into experimenting with metals on a larger scale. Rheta now creates HAND BEATEN Wall Sculptures in 0.6mm ALUMINIUM FLASHING, a unique technique that she has been perfecting over many years. It is important to note that this technique is entirely different to pewter work & far harder. Rheta 'draws' on metal, using an adapted screwdriver, hammer, engraver and other adapted tools. These produce a striking effect of light & shadow, which she loves.
NB: These sculptures are NOT CAST, MOLDED or STAMPED OUT in any way and are therefore ORIGINAL, ONE OF A KIND UNIQUE PIECES, as each indentation on the metal is one stroke of her hand held hammer and screwdriver.
NB: These metal sculptures are NOT SUITABLE FOR OUTDOORS OR BATHROOMS.
Rheta is self-taught & also enjoys working in Acrylics, Mixed Media & Digital Art & Photography. Her versatility in medium & subject matter (abstract to highly detailed realism), love for colour, nature & texture are obvious in her work. Many of her works reflect African influences, be it the bright colours, design elements or subject matter. She finds variety essential in keeping her stimulated & driven.
Rheta's work is mostly contemporary & nonrepresentational. She has discovered that when she allows her energy to reign free, the possibilities of what she might create are endless and her finished work is bound to reflect that energy she feels during the process.
Rheta was privileged to have been chosen to appear as one of x13 artists featured on DSTV in the kykNET "Droomhuis/Dreamhome" series in October 2010 where she featured her metal sculptures & demonstrated how they were created.
