Today we celebrate the stories, places, people and creative voices that shape our heritage. And of course the artists who continue to reinterpret what it means to be South African.

From our corner of Hermanus, we wish you a beautiful Heritage Day. 🇿🇦

There is something wonderfully otherworldly about the work of South African artist and printmaker Judy Woodborne.

Woodborne draws on symbolism, mythology, literature and the natural sciences, creating works that invite us to look beyond the immediately visible. Her practice moves fluidly between painting, printmaking and three-dimensional paper constructions, challenging our ideas of what a print can be.

Water, in particular, becomes more than an element in her paintings — it speaks of time, transformation, birth, death and reincarnation.

With a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Cape Town and a career spanning decades, Woodborne’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally, and is held in collections including the Iziko South African National Gallery and the Smithsonian Institution.

Discover Judy Woodborne at Rossouw Modern, 3 Harbour Road.

Sometimes, the timing is just perfect.

Leandro Solomons happened to be visiting the gallery when a client was completely captivated by his work.

What followed was one of those lovely, unexpected gallery moments, the artist himself there to talk about the ideas, process and stories behind the work.

For us, this is one of the joys of a gallery: bringing people and art together, and sometimes bringing them together with the artist too.

There is strength in sensitivity.
Power in vulnerability.
Courage in individuality.
And freedom in finding your own voice.

Today, Rossouw Modern celebrates the women artists whose work brings their own unique perspectives, experiences and imaginations into the world.

One artist. One work. One distinctive voice.

Celebrating the women behind the art.

Happy Women’s Day. 🩶

The portraits of Schalk van der Merwe aren’t intended to capture a perfect likeness. Instead, they reveal something deeper: the emotions, vulnerability and complexity that often remain unseen.

Working intuitively with bold brushstrokes, layers of paint, charcoal and texture, Schalk allows each work to evolve organically. The result is a powerful visual language that feels both raw and deeply human.

Take a moment. What emotion does this work evoke in you?

Colour, mythology, memory, and a touch of mischief. And heaps of fun.

JP Meyer’s paintings invite you into a world where ancient myths meet contemporary life, and where every symbol hints at a story waiting to be discovered. Working intuitively with acrylic paint, he allows unexpected narratives to emerge, making each canvas a unique visual adventure.

There is no single way to read a JP Meyer painting, only an invitation to look a little longer and let your imagination do the rest.

Visit our SPACE Modern gallery to experience his vibrant works in person.

We are proud to introduce Vanessa Tembane, the newest artist to join Rossouw Modern.

Working across digital collage, crochet yarn, and acrylic on canvas, Vanessa creates richly layered works that blur the boundaries between traditional craft and contemporary art. Her practice weaves together texture, colour, and storytelling, resulting in pieces that are both visually striking and deeply engaging.

We invite you to discover Vanessa Tembane’s work at our SPACE Curated gallery and experience this exciting new addition to our collection.
