The Gallery ~ Art and Antiques in Haenertsburg Village

Just in time for the December festivities, three Haenertsburg artists have opened a new gallery in the village. Anton de Klerk, Fredl van der Merwe and Marloe Scott Wilson bring their own vivid styles to the space, with antiques from Johann Ellis adding a note of timeless charm.

Anton’s distinctive art has been displayed at markets and outside Bistro Haenertsburg. Using pyrography, he burns patterns into wood with patient precision, then paints each design with colour that seems to rise from the grain itself. His wall pieces draw the eye with their intricate detail, while his bright, characterful walking sticks have become firm favourites among locals and travellers.

After a career in civil engineering, Fredl has stepped into the world of digital art with bold confidence. His abstract designs burst with colour and movement, printed on canvas in sizes that suit both generous corporate walls and intimate homes. His mandalas and kaleidoscopes seem to turn gently as you look at them. He also prints on aluminium, a choice that brings a sleek sheen, and his own coffee table design holds one such piece as its luminous centre.

Marloe, well known as a singer, found a new creative path when she moved from Jozi to a Limpopo farm where dogs, cats, horses and chickens keep her company. In her studio she paints both large and small works, surreal and abstract, sometimes textured, always full of colour. Many feature ethereal faces she calls visitors, as if captured in a moment between one world and the next.
