Brian Rolfe





Kunstart: Malerei
Technik: Mischtechnik
Stil: Abstrakt


Vita / Lebenslauf:


Brian Rolfe was born on 27 March 1972 in Randfontein on the West Rand of Johannesburg.

Despite the lack of art stimuli in the mining community of Randfontein, Brian continued to grow his interest in art and experimented with painting and drawing throughout his schooling.

When he completed his schooling in 1989 he completed one year of national service in the South African Defence force and then joined the forensic art division of the South African Police Service. This gave him the opportunity to experience the technical side of producing art and his main line of work centred on facial identification and scull reconstruction. In this unit of the S.A.P.S the study of the human anatomy became very important which gave Brian the much needed background in producing his own art.

After leaving the S.A.P.S in 1994 Brian and wife Collett Rolfe started a small commercial art studio in JHB, catering to the South African film and interior design industry. During this period Brian worked mostly on projects that involved reproducing paintings, creating scenic art backdrops, sculpting props and designing of sets for a variety of TV commercials, stage productions and feature films. Although the commercial art industry gave Brian a much needed push in terms of financial stability and the security of consistent work this never really gave him the opportunity to express his real artistic talents.

In 2003 Brian & Collett had their first exhibition of original work. The exhibition “Rhythm and Energy of the Earth��? focussed on their interest in the spiritual awakening of people in Africa in relation to the earth’s energy. The exhibition had a strong ethnic appeal and was a huge stepping stone in both Brian & Collett’s development as artists.

After retiring from the film industry Brian focussed on his painting career and convinced some of his interior design clients to commission only his original art works for their clients.

His reputation and status as an artist have grown over the last 10 years and he is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the world of contemporary art.

“My work is a celebration of life and the power of the universe.
I have grown to express a feeling or mood rather than a realistic representation of the world we live in.
We have such a strong connection with the universe but it is often masked by our strive for existence and survival.

I expect my audience, when they see my work, to be triggered by something they know so well but have neglected to acknowledge for some time. To awaken in them a feeling or memory of the past, that will strengthen their connection with the earth and their reason for living��?.
