Curt Marthezé
I am fortunate to live in a beautiful environment that affords me constant learning and inspiration. I paint the natural world, either broad sweeping landscapes or other closer points of view, as often as possible standing and observing from life.
BIOGRAPHY
Curt Marthezé was born in SWA (Namibia) and grew up in Cape Town. He fell in love with the Karoo and moved to Aberdeen in 2014.
Curt studied under Rayno Swart, and at Ruth Prowse School of Art and College of Cape Town. He works predominantly in watercolours and specifically enjoys plein air painting as a means of exploring the landscape.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I paint the natural world, either broad sweeping landscapes or other closer points of view, as often as possible standing and observing from life. Preparation and method in expressing colour, value and shapes are my main concerns. In my studio, my focus is partly oriented to the medium itself, loosely responding, experimenting and investigating my subject. The reasons or logic of how things appear in space and an equivalent means of depicting them, choosing where my focus is, forms a complete practice that I love to share.
