When I come across the work of an artist like Francois Gerber, I always stand in awe. He does concentrate on still life painting. His still life paintings are relatively classical although slightly fragmented in their composition, and reflect a lively awareness of colour-quality. But he also draws! Very rare finds. And its drawings like the ones featured here that speaks to me. Effortlessly he fills me with emotion that makes me proud to say I’m a child of the Klein Karoo.
