    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.
    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.

    We will be in touch regarding the best options for you.

    Description

    “The Long wait” investigates parenting and the sacrifices parents undertake to take care of their children, waiting for the goslings to leave the nest before they can take flight. Durban is full of Egyptian Geese, they mate for life, they take turns sitting on the eggs and raise their children together.
    The soda crates represent the environments that geese often find themselves in, often nesting in cities and cohabiting with humanity.

    Grace Kotze

    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.
