About Laurette

Laurette de Jager holds a MA in Visual Arts (Unisa) (Cum Laude), ND in Jewellery Design & Manufacture (CPUT) and an NHD In Jewellery Design and Manufacture (CPUT). Laurette has achieved several awards during her career as a professional jewellery designer. She lives, works and teaches in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town. De Jager has participated in numerous group exhibitions, her work is represented in private collections in South Africa and abroad. The concept of making strange the familiar and familiar the strange is a leitmotif in Laurette's work. While her style has been described as contemporary surrealism, her work focuses on looking beyond the discernible to that which functions as undercurrents for society. Her MVA exhibition, Poetry of Decay was exhibited at the art. B gallery (March 2019) and at Youngblood Africa (October 2019). Laurette made her curatorial debut with the exhibition and accompanying webinar titled Apart / A Part exhibited at art.b in November 2020.
