FRANSCHHOEK VALLEY MAKES A FINE BACKDROP FOR THE WORK OF ARTIST MARIEKE PRINSLOO

“There is ever the desire to communicate and be understood - to be relevant, hopeful and truthful - a meaningful part of the fiercely determined South African Art movement.” M. Prinsloo-Rowe

"The primary focus and preoccupation of Marieke Prinsloo-Rowe's work is and has been an exploration of the female form.  She is intrigued by the way in which sculpture mimics the three-dimensionality of a human prescence and thus the slightly surreal dialogue it invites - human to human look-alike.  She also loves the capacity that sculpture has to freeze the transient into sculpted reality keeping it 'alive' long after moments and persons have changed.  Prinsloo-Rowe has completed numerous private and public sites, private collections and galleries."
