Guy du Toit’s apparent irreverence can obfuscate the fact that he is undoubtedly one of South Africa’s most accomplished sculptors. With the advent of democracy in South Africa, du Toit shifted his attention from notions of identity to pursuits such as revelling in form, concept and media for their own sake.
Du Toit graduated from the University of Pretoria with a BA (Fine Art) degree and a distinction in sculpture. He uses a wide range of media including bronze, stone, wood and steel, and draws in pen, ink and charcoal. He has exhibited extensively, both in his native South Africa and internationally, and has been consistently supported by private and public collectors, institutions, academics and fellow artists.
Honoured with several awards, du Toit curates and adjudicates exhibitions and lectures at several institutions, including Pelmama Academy in Soweto, Pretoria University, Johannesburg and Pretoria Technikon, and the Johannesburg School of Art, Ballet, Drama and Music. He gives workshops throughout South Africa and has been involved in community projects, seminars and symposia.
