About the Item

Louis Minnaar is a fine artist from Pretoria, South Africa. He has had four solo exhibitions locally and has participated in numerous group exhibitions both locally and abroad. With a background in painting, sculpture, and printmaking, Minnaar now focuses on using found objects and materials as his medium. He aims to embrace uncertainty and randomness in his work, moving away from formal techniques and meticulous craftsmanship. He follows an explorative and unpremeditated approach, creating impulsively and seeking out maximum visual impact. Louis Minnaar says of his work… Somewhere in 2022, I began creating work with the intention of abandoning formal art-making techniques and embracing uncertainty, impulsiveness, and randomness. This rebellion came from the need to free myself from the contrived and obsessive way I have approached art over the last 2 decades. I have an urge to create art that has less to do with my flawed perception of what art should be, my obsession with detail and perfection, and more to do with immediate and raw artistic expression. While I couldn't fully surrender control and detach from the art-making process as I knew it, simply intending to adopt uncertainty and impulsiveness as concepts altered my approach, making it feel more authentic and true to myself. Having primarily focused on meticulous craftsmanship throughout my career, working with found objects liberated me from this constraint, enabling me to concentrate on broader aspects like composition and overall visual impact. Utilising pre-existing materials provided a starting point for ruthless editing and reassembling matter into new things. Curating aesthetic accidents is what has driven a lot of my process. The point is to make unpremeditated art in a completely explorative manner with no preparation and without second-guessing what the outcome may be. My intention is to create in the same way that a hungover person desperately assembles a greasy sandwich: with much greed and little patience. This approach has proven to be incredibly satisfying.
