1950 – 2008  BOKSBURG  SOUTH AFRICA

Certainly one of the most prolific young artists emerging from the 70’s in SOUTH AFRICA.

BRAAM KRUGER a one time student of lithography at FRANS MASEREEL centrum for graphics in BELGIUM, his etchings and lithographs reveal the hand of a skilled draughtsman. Although proficient across a range of media, it is however his paintings by which KRUGER would be remembered.

Encompassing a variety of styles, the range from the fancifully pop and romantically expressionist to the plainly kitsch! Sometimes flippant, other times gaudy, it is the painter’s bizarre sensibility that perhaps best defines the essence of his appeal.
