Elrie Joubert is a Bloemfontein-situated
visual artist. She completed her B.A.
Fine Arts degree at the University of the Free State and went on to receive her
M.A. (Fine Arts) from the same institution.
Joubert has taught in the tertiary sector since 2010 and is currently
lecturing (printmaking, drawing and theory) at the Central University of
Technology in Bloemfontein.
An interest in the act of collecting and
the collector’s tendency to turn the unexceptional into something precious
forms the basis of her conceptual work.
Objects from her personal collection often become her subject matter,
used and reworked to reveal personal experiences and memories.
These reworkings often take form through
drawings and printmaking. Her preferred
printing techniques are relief printing and etching, but she also regularly
produces silkscreens and monoprints as a printmaking lecturer.
