Tinus is one of South Africa’s leading caricature artists.
His work has appeared in more than
30 publications, and he has done hundreds
of gift caricatures on commission in a career that has spanned
25 years.
His clients include M-Net, BMW, kykNET, Investec, the SABC, Avusa, Deloitte,
Freemantle Media and many others.
He is best known for his lightning-fast caricatures at corporate events, weddings
and parties. His style is unique. Instead of the usual cartoony approach, Horn sets
out to create what he calls in-depth black and white portraits is watercolour –
in three
to four minutes!
So he produces between 15 and 20 caricaturesper hour.
“My aim is to create a true work of art.
In this regard, speed is an asset; it has a freshness than cannot be obtained in
any
other way.”
His gift caricatures are created in a wide range of media – oils, watercolour,
pen and ink
and digital. Prices are determined by medium, size and complexity
.
Horn is also an accomplished portrait painter, with works in numerous public
and private collections.
