Landscape Paintings South Africa
Landscape art very rarely includes human figures, and usually depicts vast scenery including mountains, hills, trees, hills and flowers. Key elements of landscape art include perspective, use of colour, tone, and mood that also come from depicting the weather and lighting of the scene. From arid Karoo plains and dry river beds, lush forest and sweeping mountain ranges, to picturesque Winelands and agricultural landscapes, South Africa’s landscape paintings are vast and diverse, as is her natural landscape.
Fine Art Portfolio hosts a wealth of South African landscape artists’ profiles such Mauro Chiarla, Errol Norbury, Louis Audie, Willie Strydom, Gerrit Roon and Wessel Marais, amongst others.

From the lush, green undulating coastal plains of the Wild Coast, secretive forest getaways featuring the final remnants of towering indigenous trees, the mountainous Cape fynbos belt bursting with blooms, to the dry, arid Karoo, an area of untouched solitude and harsh, timeless beauty; South Africa is awash with spectacular landscapes that instil and inspire creative genius.
A host of recognised South African landscape artists have deftly captured the awesome beauty of the land in a wide variety of artistic styles. Acclaimed photo realist, David Bucklow, together with Mauro Chiarla, Errol Norbury and Louis Audie, amongst others, faithfully duplicates the rural beauty of farms, beaches, winelands and mountains with astounding accuracy, while countless others including Wessel Marais, Carla Bosch, , Arthur Edward Cantrell and Derric Van Rensburg represent the land with bold line and colour reminiscent of the modernist schools of expressionism, impressionism, fauvism and cubist abstraction.
