In her work she focuses on issues of climate change, the state of our planet, overpopulation, urbanisation, water shortage and the need to live green. She is passionate about changing the unsustainable way in which we all live and, in her work, highlights the environmental crises we will all face, Louw says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-awaken-a-consciousness\">Awaken a consciousness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of my work is to awaken a consciousness of our connectivity with the planet as a whole. I want to draw my viewer into moments of self-reflection, for that is what makes us truly human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louw has taken part in numerous exhibitions at Cavalli, Tokara, Imibala, Turbine Art Fair, Cape Town Art Fair, Cape Town Castle, Hermanus Fynarts, SculptX, Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, and at long-term public sculptural displays at, amongst others, Komsit Stellenbosch, Sculptures on the Cliffs in Hermanus and at Boschendal Estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has numerous works in private art collections globally. Currently her work can be viewed at the Art on Church Gallery in Stellenbosch, Art@Africa in Cape Town, Intethe Gallery and Walker Bay Modern Art Gallery, both in Hermanus.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kyknet-fiesta-award\">kykNET Fiesta Award<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Louw received the 2019 US Woordfees trophy for visual arts (best presentation), for her exhibition titled <em>My African Wild Dogs<\/em>. It won the 2020 kykNET Fiesta Award for best presentation in visual art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louw has taken part in Sculptures on the Cliffs numerous times and is currently one of only female sculptors whose work can currently be seen at Gearings Point in Hermanus. A life-size sculpture of her work <em>Ass&#8217;n About<\/em> is also on display at Art on Church Gallery in Church Street, Stellenbosch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsAppImage2025_71993.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marlene de Lange (far left) and Laetitia la Grange (third from left) from Durbanville attended an informative talk by sculptor Jean Theron Louw (second from left) on her journey from professional architect to acclaimed sculptor.
