Charles Foley

South African 1976- 

Soon after graduating from The National School of Arts in Johannesburg in 1994, Charles Foley got his first job at HerdBuoys and went on to pursue an illustrious career in creative advertising spanning 25 years. During this period, he honed his conceptual, art direction and copywriting skills, amassing numerous local and international acknowledgments along the way —including South Africa’s first internationally acclaimed Cannes Lions Grand Prix award. With a prolific reborn passion for painting, Foley draws on his commercial creative experience and passion for philosophy to create beautifully crafted pieces that have a wealth of depth and consideration to them.
