Two Artists Named Sheldon

Post date: 05-Mar-2009 17:55:16

Ian Sheldon, although based in Canada, was bought up in South Africa, Singapore and England; he acknowledges the influences of these countries on his art: "I draw comfort from the familiarity of the simple prairie horizon, a critical line that reminds me of the veld in South Africa, and the flat fens of East Anglia, lands that were both significant in my upbringing."

David Sheldon was born David Sheldon Horwitz in East London, South Africa; he is "one of South Africa's openly HIV positive artists". See Saatchi Online for more of his work.
