Anton Smit

Anton Smit’s Faith Mask cannot be overlooked, mounted larger than life above Serondella’s fireplace in the heart of the lodge.

Eyes open, gently observing yet not looking, this monumental feminine face gazes outward from its place on the wall, bringing the presence of African poetry to the space.

Another fragmented metal face adorns a different wall, drawing the eye yet again to the captivating source of a presence Anton’s art brings to a room.

An established South African artist whose work is instantly recognisable, Anton possesses an ability to create art that embodies meaning and evokes emotion. His career milestones are astonishing, beginning in the 1970s with his first national prize and first solo exhibition, and going on to pepper the decades with accolades in art and sculpture.
