Notes

Holy Fragments III forms part of a body of work entitled ‘Indus’ that was inspired by the artist’s visit to India. ‘The highly prolific Verster delights as much in the rich and sensuous textures of India as in the colours and qualities of his painting. Verster maintains that his visits to India have profoundly changed the way he sees.’¹
