In 1999, Cape Town based artist, Evan Oberholster, held his first solo exhibition, "Total Exposure", the culmination of two years intense work in which the artist completed 69 male nudes. This first large exhibition of male nudes in Cape Town took the city by storm & made front page news in the Cape Town city paper. On opening night, crowds queued to view the artist's explicit paintings.
He has subsequently held two solo exhibitions in Cape Town and has participated in a number of group exhibitons. In May 2001 his work formed part of 'Å 4000 - Å 8000', a group exhibition featuring some of South Africa's most prestigious artists which was held at the Knysna Fine Art Gallery and he has been invited to exhibit at the same gallery in May 2002 in an exhibition titled "The Art of Colour" which constitutes a focal point of the Knysna Pink Loerie Festival. Evan Oberholster's work is held in private collections throughout South Africa, as well as the UK, Belgium and the USA. He continues to paint prolifically in his studio in Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa and his work is constantly evolving as he expresses his fascination with the sensuality of the human form. |
