Freehand Airbrush Artist, Reuel Bosch, has captured the essence of his medium through self taught techniques and styling.
Born 31 December 1969, in South Africa, Port Elizabeth, Reuel found his purpose at a young age. Prospering in his artistic talents at school and studying ;art and design, at the Port Elizabeth Technicon; has assisted Reuel in discovering his ability in creative arts.
His love for airbrushing started in 1990 when purchasing a well used second hand airbrush and experimenting with it. Due to a lack of airbrush experts in South Africa, it was through trial and error that he set of on creating his own style and methods of this medium. Knowing no boundaries he accomplished an unique medium in capturing the soul of his subject.
In coming from an artistic family, Reuel found encouragement in his fathers performing and creative arts and his mothers sculpting and visual creativity.
His work has currently worked it’s way into galleries in the UK, Europe and USA.
It’s been 16 years since Reuel bought his first airbrush. Since then he has airbrushed on just about anything you can think of; he mastered the technique of airbrushing in an freehand style on vehicles, motorcycles, helmets, walls, boards, bodies, boats, surfboards, canvas, glass, etc.
The subject matter of his art has never deter Reuel from doing a commission or doing any of his personal works, as he enjoys a challenge in making his airbrush ability work. It was two years of national service in the Airforce that inspired Reuel to do his first series of paintings depicting Airforce Jets. His personal love for the sea and in doing a course on citations at P.E. technikon; saw him starting a series of sea life paintings named, ‘’The dolphin fund series’’, of which profits were donated to organizations in protecting our sea life. Reuel enjoys the bodily form like most of us and depicts it ever so well with grace and elegance in his nude paintings. His extensive wild and marine life paintings has found a liking amongst many art collectors, local and abroad.
