Sonja Britz’s second subject, the Lot is best understood through the English word ‘reflection’. Its verb ‘reflect’ has a double meaning, a refléter et a penser, thus a ‘reflection’ can be both a visual phenomenon and a meditative process. In Britz’s Lot paintings one sees an evolving self-reflective dialogue between subject, artist and paint on canvas from which knowledge and understanding can emerge. The stillness of the Lot’s reflections belies the fact that their medium, the river is continually moving. However, reflections (like clouds) are also transitory, being subject to changes in the weather. Wind fragments the reflections into ripples, whilst heavy rainfall changes the river from a deep green mirror to an opaque ochre flow as the rich red clays of Marcillac seep into the Lot from the Dourdou. In the days after summer storms the current gradually slows down and the river correspondingly changes from rouge de Venis to terre de Siene before finally returning to the intense vertes de cadmiums et pythalos seen in so many of Britz’s paintings.

I was born 2nd November in the coastal city of Durban South Africa.I did my first drawing of an elephant at the age of three. As it was executed in the sand on a farm there is no trace of it left.The importance I placed on animals as a child remains my passion and intellectual concern. Since moving to France I have exploredmy new environment next to the Lot river.
