SOUTH AFRICAN 1957-
Deborah Bell
Deborah Margaret Bell was born in 1957 in Johannesburg. She studied at the University of the Witwatersrand gaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1977 and a Honours in 1978. Deborah Bell is one of South Africa’s most celebrated contemporary artists. She works in a range of media on canvas and paper, produces dry point etchings and large-scale bronzes, deeper investigation into the border between mortality and immortality, matter and spirit, presence and absence, the quotidian and the mythic, the grounded and transcendent. Bell’s earlier figures, characterised by entrapment (in the country, in the body), gave away to figures embodying the seeker – often accompanied by boats, horses, chariots. Images of lions, dogs, horses and angels recur. These are often intermediary figures between the physical world and a higher more spiritual realm.
