Franskraal Workshop
Salomi Prinsloo, artist and owner of a signature gallery brings her schedule to a halt to present a workshop once or twice a year. Salomi obtained her BA Fine Arts degree from the University of Pretoria and has more than 30 years experience in making art. She has conducted workshops nationally and abroad and runs Visual Art Centre, teaching beginner and advanced students on a regular basis. Her work is exhibited in various galleries; locally and abroad.
The painting holiday is designed for beginners and artists who wish to improve their present standards and who want to rejuvenate their souls and creativity. The course includes demonstrations and exercises in acrylic to unlock a creative response. It includes composition, different techniques, development and presentation of your work. The up coming workshop will be presented in the beautiful and inspiring Franskraal, near Gansbaai in the Western Cape from the 11th to the 14th of May.
Salomi recieved the "Stars in the Comunity" award from Solidarity South Africa. Solidarity is one of the oldest trade unions. Salomi donated a set of artworks to Solidarity in 2008 that portrays the murder victims for one year in South Africa.
The following is from a news article on Solidarity's website
At first glance it looks like a beautiful painting of a scene in South Africa, but at closer inspection the deep and shocking reality is revealed. Salomi Prinsloo’s artwork, 19 829 epitaphs for South African murder victims in 2003-2004, has already caused a huge stir – not only in the art world, but also in people’s lives. Prinsloo donated the work of art to Solidarity. The artwork, which consists of six panels, is marked with notches that represent murder victims in the period 2003-2004. The work now has a place in the trade unions head office to “mean something to someone”.
