Investing IN THE FUTURE OF SOUTH AFRICA Since the inception of the organization in 2003, Founder and Chairman, Francois Pienaar has had an inspiring vision to provide educational access to deserving scholars with leadership potential (but who face economic and other barriers) through an individualised and personal approach. Therefore, MAD Leadership Foundation focuses on the whole individual, ensuring that our scholarship recipients not only succeed academically but exhibit personal success and positive social engagement traits. We strive towards equity when it comes to educational opportunities in South Africa, where not only those who can afford a quality education have access to it but also the talented young people who lack financial and other resources. Through the comprehensive, personal and long-term support we offer our scholars, we develop alumni of MAD Leadership Foundation Fellows who will invest back into South Africa and who will be a force for positive change in their unique way and leaders in their own right. With your support, whether it be an event attendee, auction bidder, sponsor or as a volunteer mentor, every contribution is getting us closer to our ambitious goal of supporting 1000 young leaders through our scholarship programme. For more information about our Scholarship Programme, please visit WWW.MADLEADERSHIP.ORG. If you would like to become a mentor or a scholar sponsor, please contact us on wilmari@madleadership.org, and we will facilitate your generous contribution. 7

Owen Claassen TREE OF LIFE LIVE DESCRIPTION OF ART Owen Claassen was commissioned by MAD Leadership Foundation to create a piece that resembles power, presence, strength and grace. Like MAD Leadership Foundation, this Baobab tree creates a safe, silent space for the young girl reading in its shadow. From its roots to its leaves, the Baobab is built with a purpose. This tree is made not only to survive but to thrive in the hardest environments. This symbolism is a reflection of the MAD Leadership Foundation scholars and the leadership programme. The programme has been carefully crafted to have a sustainable long- term impact on the future generations of South Africa by supporting tomorrow’s leaders today. ABOUT THE ARTIST Owen Claassen, affectionately known as the Karoo Michaelangelo, was born and still resides in Zoar in the Klein Karoo, South Africa. Since early childhood, he was very crafty and made the best toy cars for his friends using scrap metal and wire. In high school, he had Woodwork as one of his subjects but soon discovered that he was much more interested in welding. Claassen worked for different welding companies, and in his spare time, he made metal figurines, candle holders, and bedside lamps, using themes from his cultural background. Claassen’s early childhood memories and the known familiar world around him serve as inspiration for his artwork. His work can be seen in many of the prominent art galleries in South Africa. His work has a colloquial emphasis, beautifully depicting life inspired by the Karoo platteland. 12

Christy Lee Rogers EBB AND FLOW LIVE DESCRIPTION OF ART The Muses collection is about the beauty and vulnerability of being human. The intentions for all of my work start with a desire to express a sense of wonder and tranquility beyond what we see here in reality; and to create a sanctuary for the viewer, a place separate from the chaos of the world, where it’s safe to dream. Shot underwater in Hawaii, the colors, cascading bodies and contrasts of light and darkness were utilized to create movement and purpose within each scene, and ask questions about our existence. My perspective from outside the water, looking in and using the surface of a pool as a canvas, allows for beautiful natural effects like the refraction of light, soft bubbles and imperfections. ABOUT THE ARTIST Christy Lee Rogers is a visual artist from Kailua, Hawaii. Her obsession with water as a medium for breaking the conventions of contemporary photography has led to her work being compared to Baroque painting masters like Caravaggio. Boisterous in color and complexity, Rogers applies her cunning technique to a barrage of bodies submerged in water during the night, and creates her effects using the refraction of light. Through a fragile process of experimentation, she builds elaborate scenes of coalesced colors and entangled bodies that exalt the human character as one of vigor and warmth, while also capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the tragic experience that is the human condition. Rogers’ works have been exhibited globally from Paris, London, Italy, Mexico City to Shanghai, Sao Paulo, South Africa, Los Angeles and more, and are held in private and public collections throughout the world. She has been featured in International Magazines, including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar Art China, Elle Decoration, Global Times, The Independent, Casa Vogue, Photo Technique, Photo Korea and others. Rogers’ “Reckless Unbound” is currently housed at Longleat House in the UK; the stately home, which is the seat of the Marquesses of Bath and also home to Renaissance gems of the Italian masters, like Titan’s “Rest on the Flight into Egypt.” Rogers’ art has been featured on several album covers, and her images were selected for the 2013–2014 performance season of the Angers-Nantes Opera in France. In 2019 she won Open Photographer of the Year at the Sony World Photography Awards. 14

Haidee Nel I N FA N T R Y I : G I R L S E R I E S LIVE DESCRIPTION OF ART The birth of Haidee Nel’s two beautiful girls was inspiration enough for the Infantry I series. The question arises, “How can I protect innocence from a corrupt, violent world?” Nel became aware of the harsh reality of escalating violence against children, which urged her to create imaginative, yet empowering sculptures of young children. Masked by their playfulness, these works question the certainty of our children’s future. The work started off being primarily centred on the narratives of little girls and as an artist interrogating social issues around violence against young children. This is the first series in the ‘Infantry’ body of work, which is the ‘silent voice’ of these tainted children. Figures, standing at attention, fists clenched, defiant against their vulnerability. The child is rising up against the harsh reality, unsure if this battle can be fought. As an individual, Nel feels incapacitated to change the world, but by using her artistic voice, she could create awareness and reflect this reality. In Nel’s mind, the sculptures became monuments to all who find themselves at the front-line of this battle, whether child or ‘adult child’. ABOUT THE ARTIST Haidee Nel is an award-winning contemporary South African sculptor, installation artist and performance artist who lives and works in Swellendam, South Africa. She received a BFA Honours Degree from the University of Cape Town, Michaelis School of Fine Arts with the ‘Dean’s Merit List Award’ for academic performance. She has participated in over 40 group exhibitions and three major solo exhibitions and recently made her debut in Paris, Europe, and Chicago. She mostly works in wood, cement, metal, fabric and resin and enjoys playing with colour and texture. 24

Phulani Liebenberg MALEIKE LIVE DESCRIPTION OF ART The artwork “Maleike” depicts a combination of ethnicities. Liebenberg makes use of the eyes of a German girl, the mouth of an African girl and the nose of an Asian lady. Each painting she creates has its own combination to represent all the strong women from our Rainbow nation. ABOUT THE ARTIST Phulani Liebenberg captures the beauty, strength and raw emotions of the people in her paintings. Combining different ethnicities, her models are designed to reflect the cultures of all the people living in South Africa. Liebenberg is a self-taught painter born and raised in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Her focus is mainly African portraiture. Oil based, large scale paintings. “I am drawn to the challenges of capturing the ‘life’ and emotion of the subject’s eyes. I love the process of breaking down the overall composition into the separate elements that harness human emotion, and how the smallest changes in each, affect the mood and feeling in my work. I see each subject as a synergy of intense complex aspects that perfectly capture and preserve emotion, expression, concern and wonder.” Her paintings are her perspective of a beautiful continent and its people, the roles we play as Africans and the wonderful ways in which we do so. Phulani is represented at Tanya Baxter Contemporary Art Gallery in London, where she exhibits some of her artwork. 28

Frances Goodman PINK GRIN, 2018 LIVE DESCRIPTION OF ART Frances Goodman examines the impact and influences the media, and the film industry has on the formation of desire and desirability through repetition in her sequin lips series. We are all familiar with the disembodied glossy, luscious, lips that are plastered across billboards and magazines. They are, in essence, the signifier of the desirable body: the unattainable, mirage of perfection that teases and taunts us. Goodman’s sequin lips ripple and shimmer, refusing to hold their form, while remaining disembodied (w)holes: they are both iconic and ironic. Just as lipstick is applied to be smudged off, the image does not hold. ABOUT THE ARTIST Frances Goodman is a multimedia artist born in Johannesburg, South Africa, who works with objects such as acrylic nails, false eyelashes, sequins, and jewellery to create sculptural and relief works. By employing these materials and efforts, Goodman’s artworks draw attention to popular culture definitions that narrow the possibilities of female identity to extremes of consumption, aspiration, obsession, desire, and anxiety. Though her work reflects a society in which objects can define and burden people, it also celebrates the use of these materials as symbols of empowerment. 30

Banele Khoza WHY SHOULD THINGS SILENT DESCRIPTION OF ART The work raises the question, “why should things be in order?” This is after realising that not everyone gets what they want at the same pace or at the time that it ought to be. The social construct is that once you are done with university, the job follows, followed by meeting ‘the one’, marriage, children, and so on. Unfortunately, it is not the case for most people, and the pressure does not seem to subside. ABOUT THE ARTIST In 2015 and 2016 Banele Khoza was a top 100 finalists in the L’Atelier competition and in 2017 he was awarded the South Africa Taxi Foundation Art Award (overall winner) and the Gerard Sekoto Award for Note Making.

Cornelia Stoop LIFT OFF DESCRIPTION OF ART SILENT The artwork depicts a pig looking up at a balloon floating in the sky. The balloon is tethered by a rope that has been tied around the pig’s body.

The weightlessness of the balloon in the air, contrast with the mass of the pig. It lies in anticipation to be lifted off the ground. There is a playfulness in the depiction of a fantastical aspiration. ABOUT THE ARTIST Cornelia Stoop obtained a BA Fine Arts degree at the Tshwane University of Technology(TUT) in 2006. She has since participated in many group exhibitions, among others, with Carol Lee, Holland 2017, Turbine Art Fair since 2014 and Fynarts festival in Hermanus 2013 to name a few.
