ABOUT THE ARTIST

Wopko Pieter Jensma (born 26 July 1939 in Ventersdorp, South Africa)

is a South African poet and artist.

During the 1960s and 1970s Jensma published three collections of poetry, next to that he created graphics and reproductions of woodcuts. He disappeared from Johannesburg without a trace in 1993, and has not been seen since.

Jensma’s art is ethnic, based on a theme unique to himself, lino-printed images of animals drawn as characteristics of people. His poetry was characterized as having a jazzlike feel to it; he described his words as his jazz instrument and his expression being his rhythm.
