Olaf Bisschoff

Olaf Bisschoff primarily works in oil paints. However, he also explores media such as sculpture, printmaking, and animation. He is an abstract artist who is very much interested in playing with geometric shapes, colours, forms, and lines. Bisschoff often appropriates famous artwork titles for his paintings, a nod to his sense of humour and a commentary on modern life. He has exhibited in South Africa and abroad, including in Sweden, The Netherlands, and Taiwan.
