Description
About the Artist:
The Resident Artist at Serowe Art Gallery, Dane Willers, was born on 26 February 1949 in Heidelberg, South Africa. He attended various art schools in South Africa and developed his very particular style once he felt that formal art was too limiting, restrictive and did not allow for his very expressive nature.
Dane started painting in 1967, and 46 years later, his works are still unique and popular.
His very first Oil Painting was acquired by a law firm in the Cape in 1968 and was sold for the equivalent of USD 10.00 at the time.
Since then, he has done in excess of 4000 works that have found their way to all corners of the globe.
He relocated to Botswana in 1983, where he became renowned for his depiction of the unique Botswana landscape, Wildlife, rural scenes and activities.
After 25 years in Botswana, Dane has now relocated back to South Africa and works from his Studio in the Eastern Cape.
He has, over the past 46 years, done numerous commissions for corporations as well as private individuals.
