Jessica Michelle Le Roux (born in 1989) is a South African visual artist practising in sculpture, unique prints and mixed media. Le Roux obtained her degree in Fine and Applied Arts at the Tshwane University of Technology in 2010 majoring in sculpture and printed image. Her art is predominantly created in clay and bronze with two-dimensional works created as backdrops for her sculptural work. She queries preconceived world views and highlights the consequence of the butterfly effect. In doing so, Le Roux seeks to bring awareness to our actions, generational influences in our perspectives, and our collective impact in the world.
Le Roux’s work is represented in corporate and private collections in South Africa and abroad. This year Le Roux’s work was represented at Investec Cape Town Art Fair by AVA Gallery. Her work has been included in Sasol New Signatures, Thami Mnyele and Absa L’Ateliers Art Awards selections. Le Roux is currently working towards a body of work in bronze titled the Senses which will showcase in 2021.
