Marks of Mastery: Celebrating the lives of four South African artists who made their mark

Loading player...
This exhibition celebrates four extraordinary artists whose works form an integral part of Oliewenhuis Art Museum's Permanent Collection. Justinus Khoalibe, Ben Botma, Christiaan Diedericks, and Andries Gouws – each a master of mark-making in their chosen medium – left an indelible impression on the South African art world before their passing in 2024 and 2025. To honour them, Collections Manager at Oliewenhuis, Yolanda de Kock, joins Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Art Beat with all the details of this very personal exhibition which is on until the 6th of April 2026.
