Artist Bio

Sulette van der Merwe is a South African artist working in painting, print and video animation. Her paintings are an exploration of intuitive connections between representational images. 

Sulette is fascinated with narrative abstractions that arise from combining realistic and graphic imagery. Conceptually she is interested in ideas developed by the philosophy of Michel Foucault in his concept of Heterotopias

The influence of pop art, surrealism and digital culture is evident in her work. She has a National Diploma in Fine Art from the Tshwane University of Technology .
