Henk Serfontein
Hyperrealist Charcoal on Archival Paper Botanic Artwork "Britton Rosea"

2023

About the Item

In Henk Serfontein's recent series of charcoal drawings, Fragile Flora, he continues his investigation into the fragile, the intimate and the ethereal. In his plant portraits he captures with his microscopic eye, indigenous plants with exposed roots in minute detail. Nature is rendered ethereal and glowing with inner light. These are portraits in the full sense of the word. It lends gravitas, dignity and grace to the sitter, and is imbued with compassion and curiosity. The work is submerged in the poetry of light and shadow but his vision is acute and goes beyond the photo realistic. It zooms in on the underlying chaos and astonishing beauty. Every mark and every erasure acts as a poetic investigation. Framed with a 15mm thin black box frame and floated to a white backboard. Framed dimensions: 97 x 97 cm
