"Badenhorst's large figure studies document this subtle man's progress through life. This is a deeply contemplative and intensely personal collection of pictures that allows the viewer to intrude on a man's quiet passions and loves. Not a hint of bravado pervades his paintings and it is immediately obvious that following conception, they are lovingly crafted by the artist who not only thinks deeply about the strangeness of our very existence, but who also can paint with a very rare facility.

These paintings thus operate entirely successfully on two levels. They are powerful images that demand our attention and effortlessly transcend mere décor. They are also beautifully painted works of art that shimmer with colour and texture." - Foreword
