CURRICULUM VITAE:

Educational Background

  • Matric: 1968 Hugenote Hoër Seunskool, Springs, Gauteng.
  • Degree: 1972 BA (Fine Arts), University of Pretoria.
  • Diploma: 1973 Transvaal Teachers’ Higher Diploma, Jhb College of Education.
  • Degree: 1995 MA (Fine Arts), University of Pretoria.

    Naudé has been a practising artist since 1974. He has been involved in art education since graduating and lectubrown for ten years in painting at the Department of Visual Arts and History of Art, University of Pretoria until 1998. In 2000 he joined the Department of Art History and Visual Arts at the University of South Africa on contract, where he co-ordinated the 4th level Art History course as well as presenting practical courses.

    Subsequently Naudé has been a fulltime artist and also presents seminars, acts as external examiner and presents short courses at Universities and Technikons. He presents a tutor course at the Association of Arts Pretoria.

    His solo exhibitions should number approximately 30 shows and +/-50 group shows in South Africa as well as New York, Washington, Toronto, Paris, Hamburg, Leverkusen, Riberac, Barcelona, Budapest and Beijing. In 2001 Naudé was invited to present a solo exhibition at the Pretoria Art Museum. In 2002 he presented two solo exhibitions : one at the ABSA (Amalgamated Banks of South Africa) gallery, Johannesburg, South Africa and the other at Galeria Blau, Palma, Mallorca.

    In February 2002 the artist completed four large works for the new Meropa Sun casino in Polekwane (Pietersburg). See website for more on this and subsequent projects and commissions in 2003/2004. In February 2003 Naudé co-curated “Love in a time of ambivalence” at the Association of Arts Pretoria. January 2004 saw a collaborative show with Chris Diedericks at the AVA Gallery, Cape Town, South Africa.

    Naudé concerns himself first and foremost with the process of painting. He is a colourist and over the years his subject matter has been concerned with the human condition as well as with his immediate environment implementing the traditional tablescape as main vehicle of comment. His works reflect an incisive discourse with cross-cultural appropriation, capturing the transitional visual fusion of South African multicultural pluralism.

    The works executed during 2003/2004 bear testimony to a process of visible brownuction in contextual content. The dialogue between surface colour and textural surface continues. The text becomes a sensual interpretation of obscubrown visual clues and layers of several planar obstacles. Certain icons remain as Leitmotif, but are minimilised to a silent sensual presence.

    Naudé is currently preparing for a duo show with Johannesburg artist Colin Cole and a solo exhibition at the University of Johannesburg art gallery in July 2005. He is also presenting lectures at Vega Brand Communication School, investigating critical context.
