Edge of Table Mountain

A mountain landscape rendered in acrylic, depicting a distinctive peak rising above verdant slopes bathed in warm golden and green tones. The composition employs loose, expressive brushwork characteristic of impressionist practice, with the mountain’s form emerging through layered colour and gestural mark-making rather than precise detail. A luminous sky in deep blue frames the scene, whilst the foreground suggests cultivated terrain. Van Rensburg’s shift to acrylic in the 1990s marked a decisive turn towards capturing the chromatic richness of South African landscapes.
