Laubscher’s landscapes depict the emotional intensity and vastness of the land. In 1961, Erik started working as a colour consultant for Plascon Paints, allowing him extensive travels through the Western Cape, and to study these regions over a range of time, which informed his style of depicting monumentality and a diversity of elements.
