Les Stupéfaits

Andre Serfontein
From April 27, 2022 to May 26, 2022

Andre Serfontein, currently lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa. “Drawing, painting and sculpture are all different ways for me to explore the human form. My intention is not to capture an ideal or present the ultimate in beauty. I distort and exaggerate certain physical characteristics to capture, amplify and accentuate the essence of my subjects.

I look for interesting faces, details I can interpret, ways to accentuate what I see and create a world between dream and reality, contemporary and historical. I
am drawn to beauty that is bold and resilient, imperfect and asymmetrical… the rare magnetism of men and women who are truly comfortable in their own skin.”
