KEITH ALEXANDER (1946 - 1998)
Born in Sinoia, Rhodesia in 1946, Keith Alexander moved to South Africa in 1965, where he
completed a fine arts degree at the University of Natal. Having majored in sculpture, Alexander
switched to painting in 1974, producing landscapes and wildlife scenes in oil and acrylic.

He repeatedly visited SWA/Namibia in the early 1980s, during the height of the border war that South
Africa waged against the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) and the Angolan army.
Sandblasted Wall Kolmanskop , like a number of his super-realist representations of arid
landscapes, has as its subject the abandoned remains of human presence and habitation.

Sandblasted Wall Kolmanskop , like a number of his super-realist representations of arid
landscapes, has as its subject the abandoned remains of human presence and habitation.
Alexander’s realism is often as much imagined as it is documentary, and his focus on the grandeur of a house at sea in the shifting dune sands accentuates the vulnerability of human settlements in the desert.
