“I never wanted to study music because I thought it was boring – but then things changed, and I did study music. I’ve been performing for 30 years all over the show – 13 albums, hundreds of stage productions, every theatre, every café – more than a 100 a year! This year – less than 10.” Rocco explains, wryly.
Rocco’s partner Clive van den Berg is a celebrated artist, curator and designer whose work is frequently exhibited on the world stage. Clive elaborates that “I work primarily in two different kinds of media – one is three dimensional, which is wood, and painting.”
It’s not uncommon for Clive’s work to be found in acclaimed galleries across the country – with previous exhibitions at the Goodman Gallery, which has held the reputation as a pre-eminent art gallery on the African continent since 1966.
With so much artistic talent behind them, it’s natural that Rocco and Clive have put their powers to use to craft a beautiful living space that reflects their interests, history, feelings, and appreciations as a couple.
