Mike Edwards portfolio, a list of portriature and sculpture
Art studies: Port Elizabeth Art School gaining; the National Art Teachers Certificate, later a BA(FA) & MA(FA) from the University of Pretoria. He taught formally (1961-1990) in both Bloemfontein and Pretoria.
Much of his work has its roots in the harsh African landscape, a landscape carved by wind and rain with growth forms of visual splendour but often also menacing in their thorny struggle to survive, a landscape that reflects so strongly, the diversity, intolerance and precariousness of African life.
“Die portrette is knap gedaan. Fisiese eienskappe is op ekspressionistiese wyse raak daargestel: uitmuntend veral die portrette van Frans Claerhout en Sophia Luckhoff”.
“Priest-artist Frans Claerhout is shown as at once searching, reaching out and forthright, down-to-earth – a considerable achievement in portraiture”.
“Seen as a work of art, it is an acquisition which unquestionably enhances our collection, and as a portrait sculpture of the person we wished to honour, the consensus is that you have achieved a quite remarkable likeness.”
