Lucienne Bestall

(b 1992, South Africa. Lives and works in Cape Town)

Distrustful of ”˜artspeak'; Bestall favours clarity over jargon; lyricism over intellectualism; and feeling over theory. She is drawn to those places in art and life that stand at the limits of the expressible; places where experience eludes simple description and turns instead to metaphor; gesture; and image.
