Snake Man
A memorial exhibition by David Brits
19th November 2015 - 9 January 2016
Snake Man commemorates the life of John Wood, David Brits’
late maternal grandfather. Wood was one of South Africa’s most
prominent reptile experts, snake catchers and snake show-
men. Over a period of sixty years he caught thousands of snakes,
spiders, scorpions, lizards and frogs for both medical research
and the development of snake and spider antivenoms. Wood was a
prolific poet, photographer and filmmaker, and shared his great
passion for reptiles through these mediums as well as with his
traveling snake show, which toured the country from the 1950-70s.
Brits’ takes his inspiration from the large archive of
photographs, films, newspaper cuttings, letters, poems, and
priceless books which he inherited. Working across a wide
range of media including drawing, linocuts and lithographic
prints, in Snake Man, Brits contemplates the life of his
grandfather, his legacy, and the perennial power of the snake.
