The Elizabeth Gordon Gallery features KZN artist
From 1992 to 1995 he attended the University of Natal where he studied Fine Art and Philosophy. He graduated with a BA (summa cum laude), BA (HONS.)(cum laude), and in 1997 with a Master of Fine Arts (cum laude). His thesis dealt with 19th Century Topographical Drawing and Navigation.
Scott currently lives and works in Durban.
His oeuvre is dominated by observed and drawn landscape : urban, industrial, rural. These images attempt to metaphorise the landscape through paint. He often deals with places that would not be considered worthy of aesthetic attention due to the impact of human beings on the landscape. The paintings attempt to restore meaning to these sites beyond the current consensus of irreparable desecration. Tracks across the landscape are a persistent image in his work, revealing the structure of the land and expressing an animal logic.
Scott’s work is represented in public, corporate and private collections in South Africa, Canada, Switzerland and the UK. He is the recipient of numerous awards and has participated in exhibitions throughout South Africa.

New Artist at the Elizabeth Gordon Gallery
The Elizabeth Gordon Gallery is proud to introduce a new artist: Gail van Lingen. Gail was born in Gauteng, educated in KZN, and studied art at WITS.
Gail is currently living in KZN, having made a name for herself in Johannesburg and Cape Town. She has exhibited in major galleries in SA, UK, and Australia.
Between 1987 - 91, Gail embarked on a project to paint the Battlefields of South Africa. The project immersed her in intensive historical research and set her traveling the length and breadth of the country, to archives and museums, and to camping on the battlefields themselves. Recognising the historical value of the paintings, Times Media Limited contracted her to buy the series of 20 works for their offices. Her works were later published in the book "Battlefields of South Africa".
Gail has continued to travel extensively and her most recent exhibition in 2011, "Cape to Cairo", held at the Castle in Cape Town, was the result of 5 years of meandering from the tip of the Cape through to the Nile in Egypt.
Gail's style is uniquely her own and is a wonderful fusion of impressionism and expressionism. Her use of paint with the palette knife is both thick and fluid, and captures light, shade, and reflection in broad strokes of colour.

Barbara Siedle at The Elizabeth Gordon Gallery
Durban born Barbara Siedle first studied at the Michaelis School of Art, UTC for one year. She then attended the Munich Academy of Fine Art in West Germany for three years, where she studied painting and sculpture under Prof. Kirchner.
She later attended the Natal Technical College where she studied sculpture for one year under Mary Stainbank. Barbara continued to broaden her experience in acrylic portrait painting, pottery, stained glass and mosaics in Durban, Salzberg, London and Munich.
Barbara has today established herself as a major watercolour artist, especially in the field of wildlife. Her first solo exhibition in 1982 was sold out within a week. Since then she has had many solo and group exhibitions with consistent success all over SA and the UK.
In 1995 Barbara was commissioned to do the 2 metre bronze statue of The Lady in White which is situated on T Jetty, Durban Harbour. She was also commissioned to do a bust of Vasco Da Gama, for the Portuguese Government, to commemorate da Gama’s arrival off the coast of Natal.
Barbara’s love of the bush and interest in environmental issues takes her on many journeys throughout Southern Africa to capture subject matter for her work.
Her work is currently on display at the Elizabeth Gordon Gallery: 120 Florida Road, Durban.
