Astonishingly gifted young landscape artist, Jacques du Plessis, is currently presenting an exhibition of his works at Crouse Art Gallery in Durban.Jacques was born on September 17, 1985, in Florida on the West Rand. He never had any formal art education but from a very young age he had the impressive ability to create art. At primary school he was well known for his ability to draw and his art talent. His parents moved to Hartebeesportdam where he matriculated in 2004 at Hoerskool Hartebeespoort.
After school for about two years, under the influence of acclaimed artist Christiaan Nice, du Plessis learned about painting and preparing paintings.
It was only in October 2007 that his first work was exhibited at an art exhibition. From the word go his work hit great popularity from the public and major art collectors. Now at the age of 24, it looks like Jacques will have a very long and prosperous future in the art industry.
