For Art Lovers & Collectors
- an invitation into a private world
The Garden Route has a reputation for attracting artists and art
collectors, and the R62 is nationally celebrated as The Art Route of
South Africa.Garden Route
residents and visitors are particularly fortunate therefore, that within
an hour or two's drive they can be immersed in the private life and
landscape of one of our most exciting artists - Sheena Ridley.It's a beautiful journey whichever way you go (see below for
directions).
Over the past six years Sheena has been lovingly and persistently
developing her farmyard property near Nolshalte in the Bo-Langkloof,
Klein Karoo, as a sculpture garden, and you will certainly find much to
hold your attention.
The sculpture garden itself is a visual delight, the sculptures being a
reflection of what you will see around you - impressionistic forms of
local country people and domestic animals.When you have been here long enough to shake off the urbanity of
city life, you'll be able to appreciate the genuine exuberance of these
fresh sculptures with their display of unaffected sincerity. Sheena's
isolated life has taken her away from mainstream artistic trends and has
assisted her in developing an idiosyncratic style, which is quite unique
today in South Africa.
The newly built studio provides a traditional 'Karoo-farm barn' space
for her oil paintings, pastels and smaller sculptures, as well as
works-in-progress. Her use of the palette knife in her oils creates a
body of work which is highly desirable and which has been shown in
galleries all over South Africa, and in collections abroad. Being able
to see the tools and machinery that are involved in the process of
making art is interesting, and something that is always lacking when one
sees art exhibited in formal gallery spaces.
Sheena gives all-year-round private 5-day ferro cement
sculpture courses for complete beginners through to experienced artists
wishing perhaps to find a new medium. She also givesa two-day sculpture maquette workshop, ideal for a creative
learning weekend.
She provides comfortable accommodation; all meals
being a shared endeavour, with the best of ingredients supplied by the
garden.This holistic
approach to art and lifestyle is bound to help any student find
inspiration. Her accommodation and studio space is also offered as an
artist’s retreat.
