Sheldon-Lee v Niekerk
The artist is Sheldon-Lee van Niekerk from Krugersdorp, Gauteng and studied Fine arts at the University of Pretoria. Sheldon-Lee specialised in painting with mixed media in her final year.
The work deals with paradise and dystopia and addresses living in a ruptured environment with covid-19. The artworks focus on the expressive manner of paintings of the artist's environment with a focus on her mental health state each time while painting instead of placing all the focus on the referenced landscape itself. The landscape becomes a metaphor for a mental state.
