Die Langebaanse kunstenaar Dawie du Toit het van kleins af homself in die kreatiewe w\u00eareld verloor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gebore in Potchefstroom het hy van jongs af gekrabbel. \u201cEk weet nie of \u2019n mens dit teken kon noem nie,\u201d vertel hy. \u201cEk het nog \u2019n boek waarin ek voor skool leer skryf het. Dis vol tekeninge, en op elke tweede bladsy \u2019n tekening van \u2019n vark. Of dit inspirasie was weet ek ook nie, maar ek dink as \u2019n mens op \u2019n plaas grootword, is jou sintuie meer ingestel op die natuur en die voorwer\u00adpe in die natuur en die landskap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Du Toit se kuns wissel van natuurtonele en landskappe tot blomme, stillewes, vrugte, en baie bome. Om hierdie kunswerke te maak, maak hy gebruik van akriel en soms ook waterverf en pastel. \u201cEk dink ek is te ongeduldig vir olieverf omdat dit heelwat langer vat om droog te word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat die kunstenaar se storie nog meer interessant maak, is die feit dat hy uit \u2019n drama- en joernalistieke agtergrond kom voordat hy redelik voltyds in 2014 begin skilder het. Volgens Du Toit is elke skildery wat hy maak vir hom suksesvol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIets waarmee jy self tevrede is, en wat tot \u2019n bre\u00ebr gehoor spreek, is \u2019n hoogtepunt. Elke uitstalling waarop jy iets verkoop is \u2019n hoogtepunt omdat mense daarvan hou, dis baie bevredigend. Nog \u2019n hoogtepunt is die feit dat van my werk in private versamelings oor die w\u00eareld heen is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer dit kom by watter een van sy kunswerke Du Toit die meeste van hou, is dit \u2019n moeilike vraag om te antwoord. \u201cTwee waarvoor ek \u2019n sagte plekkie het, is die Maksi-granate<\/span> en die Bloekombos<\/span>. Die granate oor die kleur, die uitbundigheid, die vrugbaarheid, dit is ook \u2019n goeie voorbeeld van my tegniek.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vir Du Toit bly kuns \u2019n heerlike stokperdjie wat hom oneindig baie plesier verskaf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk hoop ek kan nog lank daarmee aanhou en ander se lewe daardeur verryk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy raad aan kunstenaars: \u201cVolg jou drome en moenie opgee nie. Daar bestaan soveel voorbeelde van regtig minderbevoorregte en agtergeblewe jongmense wat op vele terreine bo uitgekom het. As jy wil skep en jou emosies uitdruk, doen dit met oorgawe en harde werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Du Toit se kunswerke word tans in die Brickwall-galery in Hopefield en by die Art@39 in Grootbrak uitgestal. Sy kuns sal ook van Saterdag 20 Augustus by die Segulah-uitstalling in Langebaan te sien wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou jy meer van Du Toit se kunswerke wil weet, kontak hom gerus by 083 450 0430 of stuur
