There is something timeless about red roses. In this still life, F.A. Scotty brings them together with a warmth and painterly sensitivity that makes the flowers feel almost within reach.

F.A. Scotty was the pseudonym of Italian-born South African artist Titta Fasciotti (1927–1993), who studied at the Accademia Carrara di Belle Arti in Bergamo before moving to South Africa. His work included landscapes, seascapes, still lifes and figurative subjects, with oil painting central to his practice.

This work, **Red Roses**, is an oil painting measuring **44 × 34 cm**, offered at **R7,500**. A quietly elegant piece for a collection, and a reminder that sometimes the simplest subject carries the greatest presence.

PIERNEEF, TAKE TWO.

So, Pierneef has arrived in 2026.

And Cape Town, being Cape Town, has apparently decided to give the man more material than any sensible painter could possibly handle.

There is the harbour, all working boats, ropes, rust, yellow paint and cold Atlantic water. There is the cable car hanging over the mountain like some improbable piece of engineering. There is Bo-Kaap, throwing colour into the landscape with the kind of confidence no art director could manufacture. And then there is the road along the Twelve Apostles, where the mountain simply drops into the sea and dares you to look away.

This is the thing about South Africa.

You don't really need to invent drama here. The place has already done the hard work.

A lesser painter might chase the postcard. Pierneef would chase the structure beneath it. The geology. The light. The strange collision between ancient mountain and modern city. The human mess at the foot of something that has been standing there for millions of years.

And perhaps that is what makes imagining Pierneef as a millennial so entertaining.

Give him a cable car, a fishing harbour, a city of colour, a winding coastal road and a phone full of photographs.

Then get out of his way.

Because the man knew the landscape.

And Cape Town, in 2026, would have given him one hell of a canvas.

There is something quietly special about finding several very different artists gathered together in one collection. At a great price as well! (All these paintings have been marked down by 50%) see below.

Munro’s landscapes speak through colour, texture and a wonderfully direct treatment of the natural world. His distinctive use of builders’ trowels helped shape the tactile character for which his work became known, while landscape remained one of the recurring subjects within his extensive body of work.

Sandi Beukes takes us somewhere more intimate. Her Provence pastel captures the romance of European street life through architecture, café tables and small encounters between people. Beukes has long drawn inspiration from the French and Italian countryside, as well as the cafés and streets of Europe.

Corry Larson’s paintings bring another kind of energy: streets filled with colour, movement, architecture and people. The two works in this collection have an immediacy that rewards looking closely, from the expressive handling of the buildings to the small human stories unfolding within each scene.

And then there is At Botha, with a distinctly South African sense of place. His coastal landscapes are characterised by simplified forms, strong colour and an unmistakable affection for the landscape and people of the Cape. Botha is a self-taught artist whose career moved from the performing arts into painting, eventually leading him to Paternoster, where he established his own gallery.

For a limited time, all of these original works are available at half-price.

Not a clearance. Not a compromise. Rather, an unusual opportunity to acquire an original work by an artist whose particular way of seeing might otherwise have remained just beyond reach.

Sometimes the right painting arrives quietly.
Perhaps one of these is yours.

Otto Klar (1908–1994)

There is a quiet, almost cinematic stillness to Otto Klar’s landscapes. Born in Vienna and trained at the Wiener Kunstakademie, Klar brought a European painterly discipline to his adopted South African landscape. After arriving in South Africa in 1939, he settled in Pretoria, where he continued to paint and teach, becoming particularly known for his landscapes, seascapes and still lifes.

This intimate village scene reveals his particular sensitivity to atmosphere and place. A broad, unhurried road draws the eye into a cluster of whitewashed dwellings and weathered thatched roofs, while small figures animate the foreground. Above them, a softly layered sky creates a delicate counterpoint to the warm earth and restrained architecture below.

Klar’s handling is confident without becoming overstated. The landscape is observed with clarity, yet retains the poetry of memory: a rural world reduced to light, colour, structure and human presence.

An original work by an important Austrian-born South African artist, whose paintings remain represented in collections including the Pretoria Art Museum, Durban Art Gallery and Witwatersrand Art Museum.

Daar is ’n besondere teerheid in ’n Claerhout. Die figure is nooit bloot figure nie. Hulle dra iets mensliks, iets broos, iets wat tussen herinnering en verbeelding bly leef.

In hierdie gemengde-medium werk ontvou ’n wêreld van sagte bloues, losgetekende vorme en warmer aardse kleure. Die spontane lyne gee die komposisie ’n byna musikale ritme, terwyl die ligte, deursigtige lae ’n gevoel van beweging en herinnering skep.

Dit is kuns wat nie aandring op aandag nie. Dit trek jou nader.

’n Werk vir die versamelaar wat weet dat ware waarde dikwels lê in die emosie wat ’n beeld lank nadat jy dit verlaat het, by jou laat bly.

𝐕𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐊𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐠 | 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐬𝐲𝐒𝐀

Vandag vier ons die vroue wat met kleur, lig en verbeelding stories vertel.

Vier kunstenaars, vier verskillende wêrelde: 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗮 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻 se vrou in rooi, vasgevang in ’n stil oomblik by die klavier; 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁 se sagte moeder-en-kind-toneel, waar lees en saamwees ’n wêreld op sy eie word; 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝗮𝗹 se elegante blommerangskikking, waar lig, kleur en klassieke interieurs saamvloei; en 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘁 se uitbundige veldblomme, vol beweging, warmte en lewe.

Vier vroue. Vier stemme. Vier maniere om die wêreld raak te sien.

Hierdie Vrouedag salueer ons 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗮 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻, 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁, 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝗮𝗹, 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘁, 𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝘃𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘀 wie se kunswerke ons lewens opkikker, en die besondere stories wat hulle deur hul kuns vertel. Want soms is dit juis ’n vrou se blik wat ons leer om die gewone weer as iets buitengewoons te sien.

Nie al die werke is tans by Kunssinnig beskikbaar nie. Besoek kunssinnig.com of kontak Jenny Kruger by [email protected] vir navrae. Kunssinnig is geleë by: 2A Môreson Avenue, Valmary Park, Durbanville, Kaapstad.

Waar goeie wyn geskink word, word stories gebore. Waar kuns leef, vind daardie stories 'n tuiste.

Op 27 Augustus verwelkom Kunssinnig Art Gallery en Beproef vir Liam van De Meye Wine Estate vir 'n aand waar elke glas 'n verhaal vertel en elke slukkie getuig van die grond waaruit dit gebore is.

Soos Jacob Hendrik Pierneef die stilte van die Suid-Afrikaanse landskap vasgevang het, en Gregoire Boonzaier die siel van gewone mense op doek verewig het, dra elke bottel De Meye ook die karakter van sy oorsprong. Dit is 'n viering van vakmanskap, geduld en die kuns om iets buitengewoons te skep.

In die intieme ruimtes van Kunssinnig ontmoet kuns en wyn mekaar op natuurlike wyse. Hier word gesprekke langer, lag opregter en herinneringe ryker.

Ons nooi jou uit om deel te word van 'n aand waar goeie geselskap, uitsonderlike wyne en inspirerende kuns saamvloei tot 'n ervaring wat lank ná die laaste glas sal bybly.

What an incredible response... again! 🌸

Our Women's Month Gourmet Macaron & Wine Tasting Experience, presented in collaboration with bePROEF, has officially sold out. Thank you to everyone who booked their place. We can't wait to share a memorable evening with you.

Women's Month is also a time to celebrate the remarkable women who have shaped South African art. From the expressive landscapes of Maggie Laubser and the bold creativity of Irma Stern, to the contemporary brilliance of artists such as Esté MacLeod, South African women have left an enduring mark on our artistic heritage.

At Kunssinnig, we believe that great art and great wine have one thing in common. They bring people together, spark conversation, and create lasting memories.

Missed out on this event? Don't worry.

We have many more exciting experiences planned with our friends at bePROEF, including exclusive wine tastings, food pairings, artist evenings, and unique gallery events.

Follow our page, keep an eye on our upcoming events, and book early. Our intimate experiences tend to fill up quickly!

Here's to celebrating remarkable women, exceptional South African art, and unforgettable evenings shared with wonderful company.

Always a good time.
