Andrew Verster

Catch Andrew Verster's exhibition "Past/Present" at the Standard Bank Art Gallery in Johannesburg if you can. It runs until 23 May and covers the past 14 years of his work. The title of the exhibition refers to how our past affects our present. Verster celebrates South Africa's democracy as a major personal milestone - as the first works were made during this transition in 1994.

The exhibition is a multi-disciplinary show of paintings, drawings, stage sets, costume designs and wax panels that aims to reveal Verster's diverse approach and innovation.
