DANIEL INTRODUCTION
BLIGNAUT
South African artist DANIEL BLIGNAUT uses trees as a metaphor for the human condition — for instance, the visual measure of the passage of time, the seasonal cycle of death and rebirth, and the diversity of personalities. His work examines the physicality of trees, and in the way that time, environment and climate impacts the body to produce an enormous visual variety.
In his latest work, Daniel Blignaut returns to the subject of trees, which has fascinated me since childhood and occurred in his work since the early eighties. Instead of a representational depiction, Blignaut employ something similar to an Iconographic template to portray their presence, complexity, and majesty.
In this new series, Dreaming of Africa, Blignaut takes inspiration from a childhood surrounded by primitive art and textile. Daniel make use of iconography and symbols to create a variety of visual rhythm, patterns and textures. His exploration of the visual nature of his subject matter is expressed in a variety of visual and physical textures. The chess board pattern in his work has always been a dominant symbol now inhabits a new role as part of the broader language of pattern and texture.

A
CONVERSATION
WITH
TREES
In “A Conversation with Trees,” the vibrant colors that have been a hallmark of my work are slightly de-saturated and toned down. I explore the visual nature of my subject matter by expressing it in a variety of textures. The chess board pattern which has always been a dominant symbol in my art now inhabits a new role as part of the broader language of pattern and texture. - Daniel Blignaut
