About Bron
Bron is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.
Swirling into the art scene with a breath of fresh air and style that’s unique and totally her own, is Bron Stofberg, contemporary artist.
Bron uses oil based paints on canvas using a unique formula to create a reaction that flows, pulls, blends, speckles and merges and producing an amazing sheen that draws one in to inspect nose to canvas. Admirers are fascinated by the glossy “wet look” of the paintings always wanting to touch and run a finger over the surface. Brons art has found new homes in many up-market homes all over South Africa and many made their way overseas.
“It’s unbelievable what oil based paint and an artist with a gift can do together” - Sally Kemp
3 Years ago, Bron was approached by Horak Venter, a top Interior Design company in Umhlanga who commissioned her to paint a custom designed piece of art for a Post Production House co-owned by Madonna, in Soho, London in 2007. The brief from the Decorators / clients was very specific, but restrictive from an artists creative point of view! They asked for two 4m long pieces using only green and white paints and incorporating the theme of the company – movies! Well, the challenge was set and so began her many sleepless nights! After a while, not only were the trees and grass green, but so was everything else!
She came up with the idea of a film reel graduating from light to dark green, heavily textured paint and was even able to use the company logo to give it a personal touch.
The final product was beautiful - 2 paintings, mirror images of each other running in opposite directions. They were then put on a ship and set sail for London!
Bron loves the challenge of being given dimensions, a colour brief and instructions to make it happen!
Each piece of her original artwork is custom made to size, colours and style choice of the client. This ensures that you receive a piece of art that is uniquely your own and never to be repeated. Clients are always amazed that not a single paint brush is used in her technique only the pouring of tiny bottles, palette knives, Hairdryers and other handy household tools!
More recently, Bron was commissioned by The Legacy Group and Stephen Falcke to paint a total of 9 pieces for the Da Vinci Hotel - this is The new Hotel in Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton, Gauteng.
