Grace Kotze

Grace Kotze is a Durban-based artist born in 1968. She completed a Higher Diploma in Fine Art at Durban Institute of Technology.

She paints birds, people, places, things and places that engages her.

Kotze’s work is motivated by the challenge of fusing her emotional intent with visual and technical concerns.
At present acrylic painting is her primary tool, its phenomenally versatile nature offers never-ending possibilities of exploration.

In order to produce works of integrity she has to
paint from an emotional point of reference.

Kotze is very aware of utilising imagery she has a profound connection to. Her paintings function on an autobiographical level documenting both her internal and external vision.

Grace Kotze paints places, things and people from her everyday life, using the familiar as a direct link to an emotive sense of self.

In Cape Town Grace Kotze is represented by The Artists Gallery.
