Mari Vermeulen-Breedt

South African 1954- 


Mari Vermeulen-Breedt, an artist with 45 years of experience, specializes in oil portraits, interiors, and landscapes. She has recently ventured into clay and ceramics. After relocating to the Eastern Cape, her work is profoundly influenced by the rugged landscapes, featuring fissured rocks and undergrowth. The rocks, known as Dolerite, form into clusters called the Amatole. These rocks fissure and break into smooth, flat surfaces, which Breedt cuts and paints on. Revelling in her new Eden, Breedt finds inspiration in this new environment, contrasting it with the transient nature of 'The Bubble' of Stellenbosch, where unequal fortunes are poised to reshape the landscape and community boundaries. Her art captures the essence of both these worlds.
