About the Artist
Swain Hoogervorst is interested in the process of painting and specifically the technical aspects of oil painting. Influenced by photography as well as film and other digital media, he questions the nature of different images and their relationship to painting. Exploring how these different ways of seeing affect one another. Dislocated planes of colour and erratic lines are combined with flashes of clarity. The result is an organic yet deeply considered stitching together of perception and thought, intention and chance.
Born and based in Cape Town, Hoogervorst obtained a BA in Graphic Design at the Vega School of Brand Leadership.
