Jean Theron Louw

Sculptor

Jean Theron Louw (born in 1965) is a South African architect whose true passion lies in sculpting. After winning the Sanlam African Art Award while still at school, she read her architectural degree at the University of the Free State. In her work she focuses on issues of climate change, the state of our planet, overpopulation, urbanisation, water shortage and the need to live green. She is passionate about changing the unsustainable way in which we all live and in her work highlights the environmental crises we all face.

“The purpose of my work is to awaken a consciousness of our connectivity with the planet as a whole. I want to draw my viewer into moments of self reflection – soul searching for that is what makes us truly human.” – Jean Theron Louw

Her vision is to awaken thought and interaction in others as they view the work, resulting in a consciousness of our interconnectivity within the planet as a whole. Making us realize that we are all interconnected and just part of a larger whole
