There is a flap over an enormous house and art studio that is nearing completion here in Stellenbosch, one being built for a local – very successful – artist that goes by the name Portchie (real name Jan Hendrik Viljoen). The local taxpayer association contends it is too big and that the style does not fit in with its surroundings. ‘Wait until it’s done’ says the artist, and ‘One cannot please everyone’.
