Justin Nomad

<div>Justin Nomad's beautiful contribution to the IPAF Festival in 2019, "painted almost exactly where a mobile library used to park every week, many years ago".<br><br>I spoke with the owner of the house where this is painted. He wasn't too happy with how muted the painting is - he was expecting something far more bold - but I assured him he had one of the more beautiful pieces in the neighbourhood.<br><br>Artist's website:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nomadsgallery.com/">Home (nomadsgallery.com)</a><br> "Nomad Is A South African Based Muralist Whose Work Can Be Found Not Only Locally In Johannesburg And Cape Town, But Also Internationally In The UK.

Riaan Bosch

<div>https://diematie.com/2020/10/new-face-on-bird-street/&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>The corner of Bird and Du Toit Street in Stellenbosch was recently blessed with a wall mural of a woman’s face surrounded by exquisite protea flowers. The piece was done by&nbsp; Riaan Bosch, an artist from Peacock Art &amp; Design in Pretoria. It is part of an initiative by Dorpstraat Properties to incorporate art into public spaces. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Bosch started his artistic career in 1990 as a Scenic Painter at the then Performing Arts Council of the Transvaal (PACT) at the State Theatre in Pretoria. As a Scenic Painter, he was responsible for painting the backdrops and sets for ballets, operas, dramas, and other productions. During his time there he learnt the art of painting on a very large scale, without ever compromising detail and impact.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Co-founder and Executive Director of Dorpstraat Properties, Hannes Pickard, says, “We try to incorporate some public art in every development we do because according to me art is what creates civilisation. So the more people we can expose to art, especially children, the better.” It is their way of participating in the gift economy, giving back to society. He says with all the bad news going around these days, a hint of beauty is always a bonus. One of their most successful pieces is an upside-down cow sculpture in Irene Village Mall, Centurion, labelled ‘The Udder Side’. “Art and culture is the heartbeat of any society,” says their Asset Manager, Liné Knoetze.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>The Protea flower was not only chosen for its strong design elements but also because of its mythological associations to change and transformation: it represents diversity and courage.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>“The mural is situated in a public space and we wanted the community to identify with the artwork and not only see a ‘pretty picture’. We, therefore, incorporated a human element through the use of a face,” says Bosch. They chose this particular image, as it represents the diversity of Stellenbosch as a community. The juxtaposition of the human element (in the greyscale against the bright colours of the protea) further enhances this imagery.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Bosch also did a three-story mural at the African Pride Hotel in Melrose Arch in Johannesburg last year. He says that he sees each artwork and mural as a unique experience. “Our clients are quite diverse, ranging from corporates, restaurateurs, hospitals, and even people who want to enhance their living spaces. Each has its own ideas and preferences and we try to accommodate these,” he comments. So the technique and scale may differ from project to project, but the thought-processes and impact of what they would like to achieve remain the same.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>When asked about Peacock Art &amp; Design’s future, Bosch says that they are passionate about bringing beauty to different spaces. “Hopefully we will be involved in many more public projects such as the Bird Street project.”&nbsp;</div>

Claude Chandler

<div>Portrait of South Africa's Rugby World Cup winning captain, Siya Kholisi.<br><br>Artist profile from ipafest.co.za<br>"CLAUDE CHANDLER / SOUTH AFRICA</div><div>From an early age Claude Chandler was immersed in the Durban art world, with both of his parents being talented local artists and prominent figures in the art scene. He grew up in galleries and studios, and was constantly surrounded by artists. At gallery openings he would swoop through the crowd in his batman suit.</div><div>His passion for portraiture was cemented when, in 2005, he began a project of painting his teachers at Glenwood High School. This set off his career as he started receiving portrait commissions, as well as developing his own identity as an artist and increasing his confidence in his artistic abilities. Claude's creative journey is rooted in the use of portraiture. His journey continued into his tertiary studies when he decided to study Fine Art at the Durban University of Technology.After graduating in 2011, Claude moved to Cape Town to pursue his art career. He was a finalist for the 2013 SPI Portrait Awards and has participated in numerous art fairs and group shows with two sell-out solo exhibitions at World Art Gallery. Since 2017 Claude has also started producing a number of murals in Cape Town and has slowly been building a portfolio of street art works.He currently works from East Side Studios, a creative collective, which he also manages and runs. In 2018 he also began a new venture with Blended Audio, hosting a visual arts podcast called Art Pod."</div>

<div>One of my favourite artists - Kilmany-Jo Liversage.&nbsp;<br>Former high school teacher Kilmany-Jo uses a graffiti style to create striking portraits of women. &nbsp;<br>She's not normally a street artist but does have a couple of pieces out there. This piece was painted for IPAF 2020 (www,ipaffest.co.za)<br>She's also designed murals for a series of Nandos stores worldwide, including in Melbourne.&nbsp;<br><br>From ipaf.co.za:<br>"Kilmany-Jo creates portraits that sit at the blurry boundary between fine art and graffiti.<br>Adopting the graffiti or urban art language allows her to update, renew and challenge the conventions of painting, though her rendering of female subjects are inspired by Renaissance-era portraiture. It also references digitised mass production and a futuristic post-human world, populated by perfect-looking female cyborgs,. The result is a series of brightly coloured large-scale paintings, evoking the street, art history and the future."<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>

He is renowned for his awe-inspiring black and white paintings of wildlife. His murals often feature animals and rodents that are either subject to extinction, exploitation or endangered and are native to the location where the particular mural is found.<br><br></div><div>The mysterious painter from Ghent is known to keep a low profile so that the quality of his work speaks for itself. He uses anonymity to make sure his artwork, personal life and spirit remain uncompromised.<br><br>He has left his marks in some of the most recognised cities such as London, New York, Berlin, Madrid, Moscow, Mexico City, Paris, and Johannesburg.<br><br><strong>His piece for IPAF festival was a South African “Cape Pangolin” also known as an “Ant eater” which is a mammal with an armour of imbricate brown scales. It is normally found in Savannah Woodlands and has been reported to be the most trafficked animal in the world.</strong></div><div><br>Pangolins are exploited because their skin could be used as attractive leather for boots, bags and other high fashion accessories. Their scales are in high demand in countries such as China and Vietnam and across Africa. Its meat too has been considered a delicacy in some areas and an Aphrodisiac in many others.<br><br>The largest esteemed account for Pangolin exploitation is said to be the African “muthi market” which uses the scales for traditional medicinal cures for a whole range of ailments.<br><br>Not many people are even aware of the existence of Pangolins in South Africa, which makes ROA’s role crucial for the safeguarding of this near extinct animal. Their nocturnal, underground nature makes it hard to account for how many we still get to protect.<br><br>What is truly admirable about ROA is the type of projects he chooses to work on. Although he has been approached to do commissioned work for big commercial brands, he filters out projects that resonate with his obsession with animal preservation above those that just pay well. He prefers those not for money as it has less restrictions and allows for open expression of his creativity.<br><br>Although he lives in Belgium, he only spends a few months out of the year there as his mission to create consciousness about endangered animals sends him globetrotting for most of the year. He now regards wherever he is engaged in the familiar act of painting as his home.<br><br>We salute ROA for his humble mission of trying to save endangered animals through the power of public art!"</div>

<div>The 16m x 14m artwork piece entitled ‘Recollection’, aims to enhance pedestrian safety in the Sea Point area<br>and brighten up the city’s public spaces. Luke explains that from a young age Sea Point has always been a<br>destination where he would go with his family to get close to the ocean, run free in the parks and skate as&nbsp;far as his legs would carry him.&nbsp;“In this work I have tried to capture a snapshot of the Sea Point I know and love with the&nbsp;use of bold colour and linework. This piece is dedicated to the beautiful people of Cape Town for always inspiring me.”<br>The pedestrian crossing artwork project was initiated by local property developer Blok and executed in<br>collaboration with urbanism practice and consultancy Our Future Cities (OFC). “The concept is to improve<br>development within cities to reimagine accessibility and safety as more and more people make the move to live in urban areas. The idea of future cities that merge sustainable economic development with connected urban living to shape the next generation’s way of life is not unique to Cape Town,” says Blok’s CEO Jacques van Embden.</div>
