Liebner-Anthony van Zyl and Celesté von Solms will partner with the Els Foundation for Autism when they exhibit at Upstairs @ Bamboo in Melville in June.
Van Zyl, a painter, was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, a mild form of autism, in his teens. He has, however, turned this challenge into an opportunity by developing his own unique brand of art. Van Zyl’s paintings reflect the specific way in which he sees and experiences the reality around him.
It will be the couple’s second joint exhibition and also the second time that the Els Foundation will benefit from the sales of their work. The foundation is currently establishing a Centre of Excellence for autism in Gauteng to assist with the specialised educational needs of autism suffers.
The exhibition will run from Saturday 2 June to Sunday the 9th.
Steuart has done some 500 talks on South Africa's progress since 1994 and SA's prospects for the future'
