'Bushveld near Satara' - Dawie Fourie

Dimensions: 60 x 90 cm (24 x 35 inch)

Medium: Oil on canvas

This striking original oil painting, "Bushveld Near Satara," is a masterful African landscape by renowned South African artist and conservationist, Dawie Fourie. The work immediately transports the viewer into the heart of the iconic savanna near the Satara region of Kruger National Park. Measuring 60 cm (Height) x 90 cm (Width), this piece is a compelling acquisition for collectors seeking master-level realism with a profound sense of regional authenticity.

Fourie's deep expertise in nature conservation is evident in his authentic portrayal of the environment. He employs a Contemporary Realism style with a rich, tactile application of oil paint, particularly in the foreground's dry, sun-baked earth. The ochre and golden grass is rendered with a textural brilliance that contrasts beautifully with the interspersed, resilient bushveld scrub.

The composition is both grand and poignant. A dramatic, cerulean sky, filled with powerful, sunlit cumulus clouds, dominates the upper half, capturing the intense, highveld light. The African landscape is defined by the presence of several skeletal, dead trees. Their dark, gnarled silhouettes act as profound visual anchors, speaking to the harsh beauty and the enduring cycle of life and decay in the African wilderness. The masterful use of atmospheric perspective causes the distant landscape to soften into hazy blues and greens, successfully creating a breathtaking sense of depth and the vast, undulating scale of the bushveld.

"Bushveld Near Satara" is more than a scenic depiction; it is a powerful celebration of the African environment, painted by an artist whose life is dedicated to its preservation. This work is an excellent example of Dawie Fourie's landscape painting and realistic wildlife art.
