"When I dip my brush into paint, I dip it into my soul, and he who cannot appreciate this must have a blank in his soul!"
Amos Langdown was born in Plettenberg Bay in 1930. His interest in art dates back to his childhood. He works in various media, but shows a preference for oil painting. His painting show a deep understanding of and sympathy for the people and events in the world surrounding him.
The artist has participated in various international exhibitions, for example in Munich, Germany, the Venice Biennial in Italy and the Sub-Saharan African Exhibition that toured the USA for a year. All the works in the latter exhibition were eventually sold and can be seen at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington. His work also forms part of several overseas and local collections, and his many solo exhibitions included one at the University of Port Elizabeth in 1988.
