Heidi Fourie
Heidi Fourie’s preferred medium is painting and she has mastered the painterly print technique in our workshop and produced a wide range of unique monotypes. Her subject matter is simple – everyday scenes of figures and familiar objects such as the grasslands of Gauteng which was featured in her ‘Grass you can swim in’ exhibition.

Adele van Heerden pays close attention to complexity and as an artist and curator living in a world where the binary has been replaced by the spectrum she revels in the beauties of the multifarious. Adele creates intricate pieces in ink and gouache on paper which juxtapose the natural world with human history. In 2022 Adele had a solo-exhibition ‘Field Trip’ with David Krut Projects where she showcased etchings, monotypes and editions that she produced in our workshop.

Lebo Thoka is a photography graduate from the Open Window Institute in Pretoria and works with themes of feminism, black womanhood, and the lived realities and oppressive systems faced across the African diaspora. Thoka has collaborated with David Krut Projects by extending on her series ‘It is well: An Ode to Karabo’, Seeds of the Dirt’ featuring two new images ‘Black of my Flesh’ 2020 & ‘Initiation of Mary’ 2020 in her solo-exhibition ‘Eden’.
