ROBERT HODGINS HIGHEST AUCTION RECORD R2,5 MILLION
Robert Hodgins (1920-2010) was a prominent South African artist known for his distinctive style and satirical approach to painting. Born in London, Hodgins moved to South Africa in 1938 and became a significant figure in the country's contemporary art scene.
Hodgins started his artistic journey relatively late in life, beginning his formal training in his forties. He initially worked as a printmaker before transitioning to painting, where he found his true voice. His work often featured expressionistic and gestural brushwork, combining elements of abstraction and figuration.
Hodgins was known for his satirical and sometimes dark portrayal of human figures and social commentary. His paintings often depicted ordinary people, exploring themes of alienation, vulnerability, and the complexities of the human condition. Through his distinctive style, he brought a sense of wit and irony to his subjects, creating a unique visual language.
As an artist, Hodgins was deeply interested in exploring the contradictions and complexities of South African society, particularly during the apartheid era. He used his work to critique the political and social issues of his time, challenging conventional norms and questioning the status quo.
Throughout his career, Hodgins received numerous accolades and recognition for his contribution to South African art. His work has been exhibited extensively both locally and internationally, and he remains an influential figure in the country's art history. Today, his paintings are celebrated for their thought-provoking narratives and distinctive artistic style.
