BIOGRAPHY OF VICTOR GEDULDT
Victor Geduldt is a self-taught realist painter. He was born on 3 November 1972 and was raised in Heidedal Township in Bloemfontein, Free State. He started exploring art in various mediums at the age of 14. As a child he often peered through the windows of art galleries in Bloemfontein, absorbing and digesting influences from South Africa’s most celebrated artists such as Frans Claerhout. Victor learned to improve his drawing skills by sketching characters from old magazines and comic books. Presently, Victor finds most of his inspiration in music, the immediate world around him and the daily occurrences in everyday life. As an accomplished realistic portrait painter, he enjoys painting facial expressions of people from different cultures and also focuses on issues that he feels are pertinent to his surroundings. He has had both group and solo art exhibitions all over South Africa and some of his art works have been sold internationally to countries like London, Denmark, New York and Korea.
