Conrad Botes
‘Conrad Botes considers himself to be a comic artist, and even though he may digress into making paintings on glass, or handsome and brilliant objects of furniture and lights, it is the jagged graphic line, the searingly acid, iconoclastic storyline which cuts to the heart of the sacred cows of Afrikaner culture which turn him on artistically.’ - Sue Williamson
Conrad Botes was born in Ladysmith in the Western Cape in 1969. Botes read for both his Bachelor and Master of Fine Art degrees, as well as a diploma in Illustration, at the University of Stellenbosch. Botes has been shown both locally and internationally and is a founding member of Bitterkomix, a collaboration with fellow artist Anton Kannemeyer.
