“I
had such fun painting for 8 days on site
in an empty shop in The Da Vinci Mall outside
the Maximillion Restaurant in the Nelson
Mandela Square. My brief from Stephen Falcke
is everything must be linear in black, white,
grey and silver. What a challenge!! Huge
canvases for the 3 lifts and others for
the lift Lobbys. “
Bron was one of a handful of artists commissioned
by the Legacy Group to create art for their
new project, the Da Vinci Hotel and Penthouse
Suites.
In their on-going belief and commitment
to support local South African artists,
the Legacy Group are always looking for
ways to include local South African artists
in their projects. They have realized that
using original artworks and working with
Master creators in their field like Stephen
Falcke their projects are truly ahead of
their time.
Labelled as “one of the Featured Artists
in 2010”, the Legacy Group felt that
Bron’s work fitted with the profile
as an artist to support. With Bron not too
long ago having completed work on a piece
for Madonna’s Port Production studio
in London where her brief was shades of
green and white, now it is Black and White
for the Da Vinci Hotel. The 3 huge panels
will be installed into the lifts making
this a first in South Africa. As Leonardo
created masterpieces ahead of his time so
too does Bron by the use of paint that is
totally unique to her. She uses this paint
to create fluidity in her art. |
