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.

Edward Selematsela, born in 1966, Ga-Modjadji, Limpopo, is a celebrated South African visual artist known for his evocative landscape paintings inspired by childhood memories and the pride and simplicity of rural life. His emotionally resonant, technically refined works are held in local and international collections.
He studied Art and Business at Eastside College (now Johannesburg College) and Fine Arts at UNISA. In 1995, with mentor Dulcie Robinson, he co-founded the Little Artists School in downtown Johannesburg to teach youth from disadvantaged backgrounds. Supported by Deutsche Bank since 2004, the initiative has benefited over 2,800 students. Selematsela continues to teach and mentor young artists, and in 2006 accompanied six students to London after they won the Deutsche Bank Art Award.
His accolades include the Merit of Excellence Award from the French Cultural Centre (1997), first prize at the 2011 Black Like Us Art Competition, and recognition as Citadel Most Improved Artist (2006). He has exhibited widely in South Africa and internationally, including in Germany and the United States. His works are held in major corporate and private collections across South Africa and abroad.
Selematsela remains dedicated to creating impactful art and empowering the next generation through education and mentorship.
