Morné Visagie is a South African artist, born in 1989, who grow up on Robben Island. The Atlantic Ocean that separated Visagie from the mainland became a recurring metaphor in his imagination and the colour blue has been the primary medium in his work.
He now lives in Cape Town, where he is the curator of a committee-based project gallery, Open 24 HRS. He’s also the co-founder of Art Gazette, an alternative online art platform for curating international collections of art.
In 2011 he graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, and in 2018 he continued into his Masters.
