Francois is a South African born artist & qualified and experienced art teacher, living & working in Germany and South Africa.<\/p>

In many ways the arts influenced and marked his life from a very early age. He attended a strong academic and\u00a0sport-focused school \u2013 with no art classes at the time. Although he found this quite frustrating, the creative process, especially drawing, became a passion and a big interest in his\u00a0teenage years \u2013 also following a long-running, weekly TV series called, Quest for Romanticism<\/em>. This lead to Francois finding solace in drawing and even as a teenager he communicated his experiences and understanding of life in graphics and sculptures. \u201cIt was like finding meaning and my calling in life and \u2026 Like bringing order to chaos, soul wise\u201d, he explains.<\/p>

Heute malt Francois haupts\u00e4chlich in \u00d6l, aber auch in Acryl; Formen mit Keramik- und Plastilin-Ton und Gips; Gie\u00dft in Bronze oder Harz und zeichnet in vielen verschiedenen Medien.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Schon als Teenager vermittelte er seine Erfahrungen und sein Verst\u00e4ndnis des Lebens in Grafiken und Skulpturen. Fran\u00e7ois malt haupts\u00e4chlich in \u00d6l, aber auch in Acryl, formt mit Keramik- und Plastilin-Ton, Gips usw., gie\u00dft in Bronze oder Harz und zeichnet in vielen verschiedenen Medien.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ein Gro\u00dfteil seiner fr\u00fcheren k\u00fcnstlerischen Einfl\u00fcsse stammt aus den Bewegungen Romantik und Symbolismus. Er sagt: \u201eDie atemberaubende heilige Geometrie des Sch\u00f6pfers und die organischen Formen in der Natur inspirieren mich sehr. Ich kann nicht leugnen, dass der Jugendstil \/ Jugendstil auch ein einflussreiches Element meiner Arbeit war. \u201c<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

He describes his animal-themed work as \u201cSongs\u201d and the human-themed artwork (e.g. his \u201cPerformers<\/a>\u201d series) as \u201cShouts\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
