About Me
Nina Torr born 1987, is an artist/illustrator based in Pretoria. After obtaining her BFA from Parsons School of Design, New York in 2010, Torr returned to South Africa to further expand on her artistic practice. Torr briefly worked under the pseudonym, 'Andy Wyeth' for a few years before returning to her own name. She recently completed her MTech at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Torr frequently participates in various exhibitions and is a lecturer in illustration at the Open Window.
Torr’s work explores mental landscapes inhabited by characters pursuing various journeys. Her images imply open-ended narratives that invite the viewer to participate and engage with them on a personal level.
Torr’s illustrations have been featured in local publications such as Essie Letterpress’ Artist’s Almanac, the Bat Butt Zine and iJusi. She has also produced prints in collaboration with Black River Studio as part of the 50ty/50ty Prints range, lithographs with The Artist's Press and various prints with David Krut Projects. Torr frequently exhibits at 99 Loop (CT) and NO END Contemporary (JHB).
Torr has to date had seven solo exhibitions, the most recent "Marginalia" was hosted at David Krut Projects in 2023.
