Jaco van Schalkwyk, painter and installation artist, is in the artist spotlight in Echo, the curated group show at the Barnard Gallery in January. `
Echo, is a curated exhibition of works by selected emerging and established artists explores diverse narratives relating to notions of identity, memory and geography.
Jaco van Schalkwyk uses the medium of photography to document his interest in the natural world with a longstanding interest in landscape and geography often with topical commentary on sustainability and preservation. Reminiscent of 19th century Romantic painting in their depiction of sublime landscapes, the meticulously realized paintings of Jaco van Schalkwyk nevertheless retain their own identity and contemporary relevance.
The artist’s work has been selected for inclusion on curated shows at notable museums and institutions in South Africa, USA, China, France and Switzerland and his paintings can be found in the collections of the South African Reserve Bank, University of Pretoria, Absa Bank, Ellerman House, Pretoria Art Museum, University of Johannesburg and Rand Merchant Bank Corporate Collection.
Look out for Van Schalkwyk’s work which will be included in Barnard Gallery’s curated booth presentation at the upcoming Investec Cape Town Art Fair.
