Faulkner, 25 February 1967), is a South African contemporary artist[1] known for his innovative works in a multitude of mediums, from Conceptual Art, Installation, Painting, Photography, Mixed Media, Printing and Digital Art. Caddelle is self-taught and identifies as an ‘outsider-artist’. His work is themed, reflecting his environment, mood and influences. Early life and careerBorn in Johannesburg, South Africa, to Thomas and Heather Faulkner, Caddelle is the oldest of five siblings and has four children. It was at the age of 10 that Caddelle sold his first created pieces. He began to fashion pinball machines out of cardboard. These quickly became desirable for other children and a relatively burgeoning business was created, with each one selling for five South African Rand, a relative fortune for a young boy in the 1970’s. His artistic talent was recognised at a young age and Caddelle practised his art as much as possible, creating back-drops for school plays and selling his pieces to friends and family members. MoviesTowards the end of his school career, where he matriculated from Randpark High School, Caddelle was given an opportunity to work on a movie. The first production he encountered was American Ninja, a 1985 film produced by Menahem-Golan and Yoram-Globus' Cannon-Films. Caddelle became the stand-in for Michael-Dudikoff. Soon after, he worked on the movie Dragonard[2], where he was the stand-in for Oliver Reed & Patrick Warburton[3]. It was there that he met and formed a friendship with Eartha Kitt. Caddelle sold two of his paintings, desert scenes with African ladies, to Kitt. Conscription and DetainmentAll white men in South Africa during this time were subjected to military conscription[4]. Although Caddelle tried to get out of his call up so he could remain in the movie industry, he failed to do so and was sent to Uppington as part of the 8th South African Infantry. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Caddelle didn’t want to leave the country to avoid conscription, but did refuse to pick up a gun during his time in the army. Eventually, he was moved to a post in Pretoria. During the period in the military Caddelle did portraits and commissions to supplement his income. It was then that Caddelle met another artist, Louwrens Westraad and was invited to join the BAWART (Black And White Art) art movement which came out of Port Elizabeth (PE) Technikon. The Movement in part highlighted the dissonance between government and people in terms of apartheid. Caddelle was part of the BAWART group exhibition at The Grahamstown Arts Festival in 1988. This period also exposed him to many people who were active in the university anti-apartheid movement. At the time, Caddelle was working on a political art piece, using protest posters and pamphlets, from the free Mandela campaign, Black Sash and the like to create a collage. It was apparently these activities that lead the military police to break down his apartment door at 2am one morning and haul him into a van wearing only his underwear. For the rest of the night, he was driven from place to place, where he had been seen frequenting and asked who he spoke to in those places. For two days, Caddelle was detained and threatened, with his interrogators accusing him of being a terrorist and communist. He was told he could be put in jail for life or even shot. Caddelle’s detainment by the military had a major impact on his life and he spent many years trying to remain anonymous even as he continued to explore his work and art. He worked and sold his art under the name Faulkner or CCF. Making ArtUnable at the time to sustain himself through art alone, Caddelle worked as a bromide camera operator for Focus Holdings, beginning his path into the world of advertising. There, he worked as one of the country’s first Desk Top Publishers, quickly mastering the then revolutionary Corel Draw and then the Apple Macintosh. Through this experience, he produced his first digital artworks in 1989. In 1991 Caddelle resigned, bought a guitar and moved to a farm outside of Port Elizabeth with Louwrens Westraad, where they formed an avant-garde musical band called XO. For several months, the band remained on the farm and had little contact with the outside world, except when playing musical gigs in town. At the time, AIDS was becoming more prevalent and many of their friends died. To highlight the issue as well as provoke people who were scared of the virus, Caddelle and his band created various public and video installations, walking into public spaces and restaurants wearing t-shirts with the words ‘Ek het AIDS’ (I have AIDS), emblazoned on the front. Reactions were almost always the same, with people trying to move as far away as possible from them. After moving back to Johannesburg, Caddelle landed a contract to create a back-page cartoon series for the national magazine ‘Two21’. His series, The Bubble Dragons proved successful and he sustained this for several years. He then started the Midlite Cafe and Gallery in 1993 and it was there that Caddelle created a menu of 101 hamburgers. Peter Feldman wrote a positive review in the Star newspaper. It was during this period that Caddelle met his wife Roslyn and began work on what was then the largest painting on canvas, in an effort to raise awareness for Operation Hunger. The canvas was 18 x 15 metres. This was given extensive support and radio coverage by Radio DJ Barney Simon. The painting depicted a fat alien-like child sitting on a mountain of food, with hands of different races and groups reaching out to grab the food. It was a commentary of the times and the first non-racial elections in South Africa. In 1993 Caddelle married Roslyn and because he was now responsible for a family, he went back into advertising and subsequently started his own below-the-line agency. He made a decision to stay away from political and contemporary art and commentary until his children were grown up. In 2003 Caddelle started an online business, Photo2Art[5]. Caddelle wanted to give everyone the opportunity to have an original piece of personalised artwork at an affordable price. The business then morphed into a studio that helped and assisted entry-level artists and photographers create artworks. Caddelle’s studio has become one of the leading suppliers of décor products. He also holds the catalogues for various artists and photographers. In 2009 Caddelle changed his signature from Faulkner to Caddelle on his works. Shows and collections2018
