    Warren du Preez is regarded as one of the creative industry’s leading artists within image making and film. Du Preez’s Unique process of painting with light and form combined with performance lead the viewer to share their landscapes of imagination. The resulting imagery can be described as as hyper-visual and painterly. His future/past philosophy informs levels of abstraction and mystery that resonate and challenge notions of beauty. Du Preez’s subconscious homage to classicism and surrealism convey his vision of ‘dreams in reality’ illustrated by his unique artistic processes which show photography in a completely new light.
