Liza Grobler
South African artist Liza Grobler’s visual research is a conversation between image, language and daily life that incorporates bright colours and diverse materials. She often collaborates with other artists and/or groups, such as the Qalo Beadwork Studio. Grobler’s idiosyncratic and diaristic pictorial vocabulary is capable of evoking a sense of a real individual life at the same time that it invokes matters of iconic status and general human interest - self-image and exploration, sexuality, confidence and vulnerability, professional ambitions and creative aspirations, idealism and cynicism, love and marriage.
Since receiving her Masters Degree in Fine Art with distinction from Stellenbosch University (1999), Grobler has had six solo shows and partaken in numerous group shows locally as well as in internationally.She is a part-time lecturer in Drawing at the UCT School of Architecture and an art critic for Die Burger. She lives and works in Cape Town with her husband Norman O’Flynn and son, Storm.
