The Adlou Art Gallery at Hartebeespoort Dam, some 45 minutes’ drive from either Johannesburg or Pretoria, is by no means ‘ordinary’.
Already a destination of choice for many Gautengers, Adlou, tucked in among a cluster of shops and cafés overlooking the scenic Transvaal Yacht Club, speaks volumes for the philosophy of Louise Boshoff, the woman behind it all.
Louise, daughter of Adriaan Boshoff, widely regarded as SA’s greatest living artist, has chosen to turn away from the ritzy, city-based gallery concept to create this unique gallery.
The fact that the art on exhibit is among the best available in South Africa is merely the crowning glory of this venue. Visitors from all corners of the world flock to Adlou because of the quality of work displayed at the gallery.
