Victor Geduld

Victor Geduld kom uit ‘n familie wat in kuns belanggestel het en hom gemotiveer het om self daarby betrokke te raak. Aangesien hy geen formele kunsopleiding gehad het nie, het sy familielede se skilderye gedien as inspirasie en blootstelling tot die skildermedium. Geduld neem elke jaar deel aan die ShopriteCheckers Kunskompetisie en skenk gereeld skilderye vir fondsinsamelings vir liefdadigheid, soos Ons Kinderhuis in Bloemfontein en KANSA. Hy neem gereeld aan uitstallings deel in Bloemfontein en in die res van die Vrystaat. Tans word van sy werk uitgestal in Excelcior by die Pelican Art-uitstalling.

Victor Geduld finds inspiration in the immediate world surrounding him, alert to anything that will catch his eye. As a child he used to peer through the windows of art galleries, absorbing influences from mostly South African artists. Images from magazines, of everyday life, function as inspiration for his ideas. As an accomplished realistic portrait painter, he enjoys exploring facial expressions of people from different cultures, but also focuses on issues that he feels is pertinent to his surroundings. He depicts both the mundane and the violent, and in this sense asking if the violent has not become part of the mundane. In his paintings he investigates the meaning behind the obvious, raising questions about the worth of everyday life.
