CLEMENTINA VAN DER WALT

Clementina van der Walt is a well-known South African ceramic artist, based in Cape Town, who has in the past four decades lectured, run a production studio and held many one-person shows. Her work is represented in several South African national and international collections.

The Capensis collection comprises 8 different designs inspired by motifs developed from images, patterns and colours in the South African rural and urban landscapes. These artworks are created by translating the designs of ceramic wall tiles into repeat patterns that can be printed digitally, creating a dialogue between the tactile and the digital, between the handmade and the reproduced, between tradition and transformation.
