As painter, sculptor, and video artist, Paul du Toit continually shifts the goalposts of visual creation. In short, just when you think you know what's going on, the whole picture changes! The denatured faces and imagery that are characteristic of modern art are fully present in Paul's art and although his mission is to fracture visual expectations, he remains true at all times to two important principles: perspective and balanced proportion.

Visit the Hout Bay Craft Market on Sundays (across the road from the Post Office in Main Rd) to see a wealth of local arts and crafts.
