Haidee Nel: Urban Masquerade Series

WORDS Chantél Hans

After a short break that involved raising her two small daughters, artist Haidee Nel is back and more inspired than ever. Her latest work in progress, Urban Masquerade, consists of a series of six life-sized, hand-carved sculptures of young girls all wearing different dresses and masks. Have a look at the completed artworks, all already sold, on display at Erdmann Contemporary.

Haidee Nel is a Michealis graduate, where she studied sculpture under the supervision of both Jane Alexander and Gavin Young. She is an award-winning artist and is included in numerous private and public collections and is also the mind and maker behind Hartedief – a well-known design series of heart-shaped objects and small sculptures.
