Limbs reach out low across a dark, still pool, with the forest gathered close behind. A place that feels older than memory, where the only sound is the water.
The Water Pear Tree Collection is Koos van der Lende's tribute to the elders of the riverbank. Water pear trees grow at the water's edge, deeply rooted and slow to change, and in winter, when the river drops, their roots lie bare, twisted and ridged like old leather. Koos set up reflector boards to throw the morning light back into the trees, so each one stands lit as if on a stage. He then gave the series the look of a photograph from the early 1900s, sepia toned with aged, torn edges, to honour the age, the character and the quiet wisdom these trees carry.

How is the print made?
On archival pigment inks and heavyweight fine art paper, with a white border that carries the signature. Printed to order and checked by the artist before it is signed.
Is it signed and numbered?
Every print is signed by the artist. Limited editions are also numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity. Open edition prints are signed, not numbered.
How long does delivery take?
Usually 7 to 10 days from order to your door. Your print is made within 48 hours, carefully packed, then sent door to door by air freight, tracked all the way. Some parts of the world are a little quicker, a few a little slower.
Can I have it framed?
Yes, through our framing workshop at the gallery in Hout Bay. Ask the gallery.
What currency will I pay in?
Prices are charged in US dollars. Beneath each price you see an estimate in your own currency, worked out from the dollar price at today's rate. Buyers in South Africa can pay in rand by bank transfer at checkout.
Will I pay VAT or import tax?
No VAT or tax is added to your price. We are not a VAT vendor, so there is nothing to claim back either. Depending on where you live, your country may charge import duty or tax when the work arrives. That is set by your country's customs rules and is out of our hands, so if you are unsure, your local customs office can tell you what to expect.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 14 days of delivery, in the condition it arrived in and in its original packaging, with return shipping at your cost. If it arrives damaged, or it is the wrong work, we replace it or refund you at our cost. See the returns policy.
