Born in 1971, Niël Jonker is known for his editions of figurative sculptures in bronze, while also producing plein air landscape oils. The artist is known for a monthly interactive workshop focusing on natural processes through sourdough breadmaking practice. Recent work explores the notion of vulnerability through an ongoing series of terracotta sculpture titled "Fragile beings". In the words of Gordon Froud, Head of Visual Art at University of Johannesburg: 'This deeply moving, quiet and and contemplative exhibition carries the weight of history, the power of our link to the natural world and embodies our quest for meaning in turbulent times.'
