Annamieke Engelbrecht
Annamieke Engelbrecht is a Cape Town-based artist best known for her commentary on internet culture and the impact of modern technology on our lives. Working primarily with oil paints and performance art, Annamieke juxtaposes the slow, labour-intensive process of oil painting—which can take up to three days to dry—with the frenetic pace of contemporary life. Inspired by pixelated low-resolution Youtube videos, her layered paintings critique our quick-click, instant gratification culture.
In addition to her disguised self-portraits, Annamieke transforms her body into a canvas, crafting striking costumes that embody various aspects of her personality typically reserved for close family and friends. This self-proclaimed introvert expresses herself with a level of confidence that impress even the most extroverted individuals—a true caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation. Her art series has garnered praise from esteemed art critic Llody Pollak, who remarked, “Annamieke teaches us something far more profound than the mere act of glancing. She teaches us how to behold.”
