About this artwork

Two rhinos butt horns in Africa. Limes, yellows, beige and grays covey the savannah.The artist just spent several weeks camping in the Kgalagadi Desert. It is a large semi-arid sandy savannah in Southern Africa extending for 900,000 square kilometres, covering much of Botswana, and parts of Namibia and South Africa. There is much beauty in its arid vastness. Good rains had covered the river beds with parchment-yellow grass, the lime-green new shoots… gave hope to the life they support, while the grey/brown reflects the desert sand. On returning to her studio the artist felt compelled to convert these desert colors onto her canvas—a departure from her more brightly colored work. The symbols in the background are African and convey positive concepts such as: friendship, strength, balance, courage etc. "In wanting to mimic the dryness of the ground, in the symbols I utilized an old technique to finely "crack" the paint. Thus the work itself follows the same course as the dried river beds."

« Our lives are the canvas and, as such, we are both the creator and the creation. »

Ann Gadd, an award-winning South African painter, has exhibited nationally and in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Italy. In her works, she employs lightness and humor to reflect the profound, often using African symbolism to celebrate her heritage and illustrate her country's paradoxes. Usually painting in series, Gadd’s unique blend of naive and pop is translated through acrylics on canvas. Her ADD means she switches from series according to mood. Recently longlisted for the Visual Art Open 2024 UK, International Emerging Artist Awards. Finalist in the Singulart International Women's Day 2025 Award
"Being a finalist is a remarkable achievement—one that reflects the strength and originality of your work."
