The Johannesburg born artist, Christo Coetzee pursued his art studies at the Slade School of Art in London as a complementary tuition exercise to his fine art degree qualification acquired from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg South Africa. He claimed he could never find the spot with the right lighting, so instead he framed them and placed tinfoil behind it. When returning to South Africa in 1972 Christo had removed the window panes from their Spanish house and brought them back with him to their home in Tulbagh in the Cape. Ferrie love bright colours and Christo painted two window panes for their house in Spain. Coetzee married Ferrie Binge in 1968 and they travel excessively between South Africa and Spain in the first few years of marriage.
This work, titled Roses is by the South African artist Christo Coetzee (1929-2000).
