Aidon Westcott is a painter and sculptor who works from his studio in his Nahoon home in East London, South Africa. He has held many successful exhibitions locally and exhibits regularly at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa.
Aidon's artworks address difficult environmental, psychological and spiritual concerns of the modern world. His work portrays fish, which are symbolic of the unconscious and represents spiritual food in search of inner clarity. They also carry a message of environmental awareness with the aim to alert the public of the potential reduction of certain species to mere figments of collective memory.
The South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity and the Ichthyology Department of the Albany Museum Makana Biodiversity Centre in Grahamstown has been instrumental in helping him with research and reference material. Dr Jim Cambray's (from AMMBC) guidance and input has been essential in the research of the critically endangered Eastern Cape Rocky (Sandelia Bainsii).
