Within South Africa we courier your artwork to your door - the shipping cost will show at the checkout. When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight. We will be in touch regarding the best options for you. Virtual hanging of art is an innovative service we offer that allows art enthusiasts and collectors to visualize how artworks will appear in their desired spaces before making a purchase. We digitally place the selected artworks on your walls, in the correct scale to achieve the desired aesthetic. This service not only helps in making informed decisions but also enhances the overall art-buying experience, providing a realistic preview of the final result and ensuring that the chosen artworks harmonize with the surrounding decor. Please contact us to make use of this service!

On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.

Born in 1986 in the Lowveld of Mpumalanga, Christo du Toit grew up in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, where his parents ran the safari lodge Shinga (now Leopard Hills). Surrounded by wildlife, he developed a passion for drawing animals early on.
After moving to Hermanus in 1997, he studied under watercolour artist Peter Earl, cultivating a style he calls “delicate recklessness”, expressive, intuitive, and grounded in risk-taking. Christo’s work embraces the unpredictability of the creative process, allowing each piece to evolve organically.
His recent wildlife portraits, drawn in micro-fine ink on fine art paper, are created through intuitive meditation. Though serious in subject, they contain subtle tongue-in-cheek elements and invite personal interpretation. Each piece takes two to three months to complete.
Now based in Muizenberg, Cape Town, Christo identifies as an environmental artist. His work has been exhibited internationally and collected globally. He has collaborated with WWF Switzerland, Goethe-Institut Namibia, Oncafari, and exhibited at a United Nations (UNDRR) summit in Windhoek, Namibia.
Christo du Toit is represented by The Artists Gallery in Cape Town.
“I have always seen my work as pieces of mind – revealing the discovery of life, love, and everything in between.”
– Christo du Toit
