Notes
“I want to get to know some small fragment of the world and get to know it thoroughly.”1
While focusing on a limited reduced range of subject matter, Verster’s works include infinite variety. He makes use of geometric devices such as grids to order plant forms or, as exemplified in the present lot and lot 16, views through windows.
The present lot has a warm and inviting quality, using muted colours that suggest the subtle glow of sunlight.
