These studies and his constant quest for fresh dyes and fresh methods have enabled him to develop a highly technical process of 'dripping' paints in complex geometric patterns. His works have both a retro and pop feel, while holding true to a highly advanced return to overt modernism.More recently, Erasmus has incorporated spontaneous visual breaks into his grid-like patterns after working with mentors Willem Boshoff and Henry Symonds.
This exhibition comprises new, variously scaled oil on board works as well as mixed media sculpture using scrap metals and abandoned objects. It explores the synergies between brilliant splashes of colour and the landscapes, or 'terra', which they inhabit.
