Wonderful Adriaan Boshoff original mixed media painting (28.5x23cm) - Exellent Investment

A framed original mixed media painting, 28.5 x 23cm, by the master Adriaan Boshoff (1935 - 2007).  He was a self-taught artist of landscapes, seascapes, still life and figures. Adriaan Boshoff was known as the Renoir of South Africa. His light, impressionistic style was the gift of trying, not so much to capture light, as to stop time. As Boshoff said: “I want to capture fleeting moments before they disappear forever.” Adriaan did become South Africa’s foremost impressionist over the last 40 years.

If Boshoff could be said to have a trademark, it would be that singular ability to express the passing moment in such a wide variety of work. He backed this up with a technical ability that is first-rate and an understanding of colour and harmony that is, quite possibly, unique, at least in South Africa.

His work has been exhibited to acclaim around the world and is collected by enthusiasts from New York to Auckland. Like so many great artists, he did not work quickly – he often progressed laboriously to what the untrained eye may acclaim to be the perfect canvass only to tear it up and start again. He was his own, most austere critic.
