“Whilst in the bush recently, I spotted a mud-encrusted, wrinkled old doddering warthog - staggering from tree to tree - not a pretty sight - and thought: "He looks like I feel!"So says artist Ian van Zyl who goes on to say that it “has been that kind of year, frantic, productive and most satisfying. I managed to fit in 12 humorous paintings for the Football World Cup - the organisers had the licence to sell the prints ONLY but a few weeks ago I managed to obtain my originals back - these will be available in the Mall as well.”
The World Cup enabled Ian to get good exposure on TV, various magazine articles and radio as well as quite a few new international clients.
“Our masochistic nature has once again prompted Liz and I to take a shop at La Lucia Mall for December and January (upstairs - opposite Woolies) and if you are in the area, please pop in to see my new collection of some 35 new paintings, including miniatures!” says Ian, by way of invitation.
He will also have his original football paintings and he has added to his ongoing range of "protest paintings" which deal with global warming, over population and pollution and can be seen on his website www.ianvanzyl.com
Ian van Zyl will be working at the shop at La Lucia Mall most mornings untiol the end of January until about 12h00 noon or 13h00. More information on 031 561 1446 or 082 962 9127.
