Abstract painting by the famous comedian turned painter Casper de Vries. Huge investment potential

On auction is this abstract painting by the famous former comedian Casper de Vries. De Vries has largely retired from one-man-shows and is dedicated to his career as an artist. For De Vries, painting is no laughing matter. He has had four solo exhibitions in the past two years, including exhibits in venues other painters only dream about, such as Artscape in Cape Town and Emperor's Palace near Johannesburg. De Fries' work has been positively received. Art historian Eunice Basson describes De Vries as "an almost rampant colourist" with a keen eye for composition. "His paintings are honest and competent with a lot of emotional range - no gimmicks, no technological intervention, but only the true mark of the artist's hand." His work has been included in the highly respected Alice Art Gallery next to the paintings of South Africa's most respected artist.
