Lynette Bester’s sculptures are made from everyday objects that are often crowd-sourced through online social media and word-of-mouth. This method of production allows for a degree of unpredictability in the final product and further informs the accumulative nature of the work. Lynette Bester has achieved critical attention and is an associate artist with Everard Read. She has exhibited actively in Cape Town, Johannesburg and abroad and has achieved notable attention for both local and international art competitions and residencies since completing a B.A. in F. A.1999, and an M.A. in F.A. (Cum Laude), 2002 both from University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. She has participated group exhibitions including YDESIRE at the Castle of Good Hope, Cape Town, 2003, AFETOS ROUBADOS, Goethe Institute, Brazil, 2005.

At Heidi Erdmann Contemporary in Cape Town Bester participated in MATTERS CONCEPTUAL in April and it's sequel CONCEPT MATTERS in August, 2010.
