Flying Hat

Rogerio de Andrade
Rogerio de Andrade was born in Lourenco Marques, Mozambique, in 1954. He came to South Africa in 1966, where he attended primary school in White River Primary and high school in Nelspruit (Lowveld High) in the old Eastern Transvaal. He finished high school in 1973, and carried on with his studies at the Pretoria Technikon where he obtained a diploma in Graphic Design in 1976. He graduated in 2015 with a Honours Degree in Graphic Design (Cum Laude) from the Tshwane University of Technology.
After two years in the army, he joined Turner, Venter and Machado in 1979 in Johannesburg, as a junior graphic designer. He worked in several design studios as both creative and art director, until his recent retirement from the industry. His time is now dedicated to his artwork. He exhibits regularly in a variety of galleries, and his drawings have become part of many private collections.
De Andrade's work has been influenced by his extensive experience in the Graphic Design industry and by a wealth of practical and visual experience in the related fields of illustration and cartooning. He likes to "invent" situations that are both mysterious and unorthodox. The ideas for his drawings come from a variety of everyday sources and combination of influences, which he explores, and turns into the slightly irrational. In the end it's all about having fun and adding life and magic to the work, no matter what the work means.
The artworks below are derived from De Andrade's drawings that he photographed and worked on digitally, adding a bit of colour and perhaps a few simple shapes, while still retaining the integrity and beauty of the original drawings.
An edition of 10 for each artwork is available, printed to order with archival ink on 200gsm True Fibre Schoeller paper, and each print will be hand-signed.
A3 paper size (29.7 x 42 cm) at R 750 each, unframed
