"Roelof van Wyk subscribed to Cosmopolitan magazine in 1983, as an 11 year old boy, in the godforsaken little town of Kinross, Mpumalanga. Thanks Jane Raphaely for shaping his vision of the world, together with Huisgenoot, resulting in a strangely twisted sense of what’s modern, popular and fashionable. A degree in architecture and a day job in media and marketing honed an eye and a visual sensibility that has now matured sufficiently to be exposed to the public eye. Van Wyk shows photographs that tend ‘towards an architectural language’, blurring the boundaries between art and architecture, form and function, construction and deconstruction, and focusing on three key thematics: Natural phenomena, manmade form and machine metaphor."
