Aimee Lindeque in her studio

About

Aimee Lindeque (b. 1995) is a South African artist from Mpumalanga, currently based in Cape Town. She graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town in 2017 with a Bachelor of Fine Art, majoring in Sculpture.

Working primarily in painting and printmaking, Lindeque’s practice is characterised by strong draftsmanship, intricate line work, and a distinctly illustrative sensibility. Drawing from both natural and urban environments, she explores observation, memory, and place. Her work is grounded in carefully observed landscapes and architecture, while incorporating elements of imagination and narrative.

Lindeque works from her studio in Salt River, Cape Town.

Artist statement

My work begins with observation. I am interested in the places we become familiar with, and how they change through memory, time, and personal experience.

Working primarily in painting and printmaking, I draw from natural and urban environments, particularly the architecture and landscapes of Cape Town. I am interested in the layers that accumulate within a place, from its physical history to the smaller, more personal associations we attach to it.

My paintings are carefully observed but leave room for imagination. I often remove people and other obvious signs of daily life, allowing the spaces themselves to become the subject. Through limited colour palettes, detailed line work, and considered compositions, I explore the space between a recognisable place and an imagined one.
