Dave Robertson (born 1961 in Zimbabwe), is a South African visual artist currently living and working in Cape Town.[1] His photographic work is primarily a form of social commentary. His first photographic book,'Plakkerskamp, Bonnievale 2003 -2012', was published by a humanitarian organisation in Luxembourg, Europe. The book spans nine years and documents a group of people living in an informal settlement near Bonnievale, a few hours from Cape Town. Dave is particularly well known for his series of expressionist, hand-painted photographs of township scenes in South Africa.[2] These images of marginalised lifestyles originated as black and white photographs, and had their roots in the pre-democratic period of South African history. In 2010 he turned to abstract painting. His first exhibition of large-scale abstract paintings showed at Worldart gallery in Cape Town in 2011. Robertson has also worked for many years, as a freelance art director in the film industry.
