'LOVE AFFAIR' The final touches go onto, not one but two of the largest Aloe Vera paintings I've ever produced in this lifetime. It's been a subject matter I've focused on the most in the last 12 years of being a full time painter. There was a gap of 3 years in between, where I just couldn't paint a single Aloe. Then one day, without much fanfare, I just returned to this magical specimen and fell in love all over again. Today I finish a pair of them and present them to the world. Thank you for being part of my journey. #love #hate #passion #aloe #painter #gratitude #joy #pain #life #grateful #thankyou #paintingyourheartaway #artist #aloevera #aloeferox #capetown #boy #heart #southafrica #proudlysouthafrican

P A I N T T E C H N I Q U E For me, the use of paint with its luxurious thick consistency being moved around freely yet thoughtfully, on a canvas, is a very exciting exercise. Come view 7 of my latest paintings at the 'Black on White' exhibition, at the brand new Dylan Thomaz Studio in 2 weeks time in Cape Town. #art #artist #blackonwhite #kurtpio #capetown

Exciting news!!! One of my gold leaf surf boards was snapped up my International trend forecaster, Li Edelkoort during my solo show when she was visiting Cape Town for the annual Design Indaba Conference. She loved the surfboard and has had it sent to Denmark and installed it in her curated exhibition titled Fetishism at the Trapholt Museum of Modern Art. The show will run for a year. Thank you Li Edelkoort
