Heidi Fourie
Heidi Fourie (b. 1990) uses oil painting to explore the relationship between people and the spaces they occupy. She takes inspiration from the medium’s natural tendency to represent organic lines and shapes. Curiosity motivates her practice, as demonstrated by her gestural representation, muted palette, and unique angular perspective. By emphasizing the natural world through washed texture and depth, Fourie explores intuition and relativity.
Fourie studies how the results of figurative representation and the intrinsic qualities of paint are pursued simultaneously. Her subject matter is simple – everyday scenes of figures and familiar objects – the simplicity frees her to practice and constantly refine her balancing act between restraint and excess, between gestural and polished mark-making.
Fourie has collaborated with the David Krut Workshop (DKW) since 2017, when she first came in to create a series of watercolour monotypes. She has since created an impressive body of works with DKW, and her work – both prints and paintings – has been presented at art fairs and included in many group exhibitions at David Krut Projects in Johannesburg and New York.
