Derek Drake

Derek Drake is a contemporary South African artist whose paintings pulsate with joy and vitality. He is renowned for his use of symbolism to explore the collective rhythm and language of Africa – its people, communities and traditions. His extensive travels in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and what was then Belgian Congo, have had a lasting influence on his work.

Derek Drake has had numerous one man shows, and has exhibited at the Baxter Theatre, Santam Gallery, the Lindbergh Foundation and The Cape Gallery; his works are held in collections all over the world from Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany to Britain, USA and Africa.
