About the Artist
Marlise Keith is known for her mixed media collages, large-scale drawings in pencil, ink and acrylic; and for her small sculptures of fabric, embroidery and found objects. Though her body of work is diverse, Keith’s style is identifiable in her idiosyncratic use of personal symbolism. Keith’s imagery is inspired by all the strange, unexpected messiness of being human. This choice of subject matter gives her work a surreal quality, which is heightened by a playful use of colour and the juxtaposing of abstract elements with the figurative.
Keith lives in Clovelly, Cape Town. She completed her Master’s Degree in Fine Art at the University of Stellenbosch.
