Art exhibition and auction - Joshua Behrens
An art exhibition and auction will be held for Joshua Behrens, a talented young artist, environmentalist and animation enthusiast, at The Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg on Friday, 31 October 2014 to help him realise his artistic dream.
A budding artist with big dreams, Joshua Behrens is working on his most recent project to be unveiled to the public at his art exhibition and auction to be held at The Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg on Friday, 31 October 2014. The funds raised at the auction will contribute toward realising his dream to hone his skills at The Digital Animation and Visual Effects (DAVE) School in Orlando, Florida in America next year.
To enable him to travel to America and to cover his living expenses for the year, Behrens has started his own campaign, including completing many art pieces that will be auctioned off in order to help him raise the funds he will require. When asked why he was interested in pursuing a career in animation, Behrens explains that he finds that there are very few limits when it comes to creativity in the animation industry. "I like animation because it is so creative; it's not just one work of art. It's like a whole gallery in one. There is a wonderful combination of music, sculptures, video... it's a multidimensional industry," says Behrens.
His creativity was first discovered at the age of 16 when he won Collect-a-Can's annual CAN Craze Competition in 2011. He created a magnificent art piece of former President Nelson Mandela with recycled cans, titled 'True Greatness'. Representatives from Nampak Bevcan, the largest beverage can manufacturer in Southern Africa and partners of Collect-a-Can, were present at the CAN Craze awards ceremony and instantly saw the true creative genius within Behrens.
