Rodney's Studio

I work in oils, acrylic, pen and ink and pastels. Surfaces I use are canvas, wood panels, canvas boards, paper and paper boards. Printing is done professionally in Toronto by a well established third party. Fortunately I am able to work from my studio at home. Born in South Africa. Lived also in Botswana and Zimbabwe. "My Roots Have Never Left Me" I express my life experience in Africa through my artwork. The theme of much of my work develops during the sketching process. Once a theme is decided, detailing is added which is intended, together with the colours, to attract the viewer to look more closely and thereby get to feel and appreciate the beauty and details within the “geography” of Africa. The iconic hut of Africa appears in much of my work. Huts represent something greater than a mere "round structure with walls of clay or wood, a peaked grass roof with a central support pole". They were easier to build from a circular foundation with cheap readily available raw materials: mud, clay and tree branches. But the logic was not just in the architecture; it was mostly in the communalism and complimentary nature of society - Alex Taremwa 2016 article in "This is Africa". To quote Alan McSmith in an article titled "Wisdom from an African Hut" "In most, if not all indigenous cultures, social gatherings and councils took place in circles around a focal point. Usually a warm fire. Within the hut, families would sit and eat together in the same way, tell stories in their circles, excluding no one. They would sit , eat together. I believe Westerners can learn a lot from this system if they tried it". - Alan McSmith.
