Johannesburg
CC Faulkner is a Johannesburg artist and creative director working across fine art, photography, exhibition design, large format printing and digital systems. The work has been shown at Saatchi Gallery in London, at the Standard Bank National Arts Festival, and in galleries across South Africa.
Caddelle is the studio behind it: a gallery of limited edition works, an in-house Print Room, and a consultancy that develops custom collections, exhibitions and creative direction for interior designers, architects, hospitality groups and private collectors.
Beginning as a traditional painter and photographer in the 1980s, CC Faulkner has taken up each new tool as it arrived: early digital imaging and fine art printing, then LiDAR photography, augmented reality, virtual exhibitions and, today, artificial intelligence. The tools change. The question stays the same: what does it take to make an image that matters to the person looking at it?
Work was signed Faulkner until 2006, when the signature changed to Caddelle. Both names belong to the same artist.

The most successful projects are not defined by the software used or the trends of the moment. They succeed because they communicate clearly, solve real problems and create meaningful experiences.
