GUY DU TOIT, Protective Hare

Bronze, 216 x 120 x 120 cm

Beginning the sculpture trail is Guy du Toit’s “Protective Hare”. This sculpture has been cast in bronze. finished with a unique mottled patination and gold leaf on the tiny hare.

One of South Africa’s most accomplished sculptors, du Toit describes being ‘liberated’ by the advent of democracy in South Africa from having to concern himself and his art with the notions of identity, and he has happily turned his attention to pursuits such as reveling in form, concept and medium for their own sakes.

Full of pathos, Protective Hare gently cradles a tiny hare in its arms, shielding it from harm and a world of turmoil and uncertainty.

Du Toit’s hares have a lightness of being - they dance, they fly, they sit pondering their thoughts. They are like quick sketches in the landscape, something glimpsed out the corner of the eye, like a flash of truth.

DYLAN LEWIS, S-H 13d Interrelation

Bronze, 16 x 7.5 x 13.5 cm

Dylan Lewis is Africa’s most internationally renowned living figurative sculptor. Collectively Lewis’ bronzes of felines form perhaps the most powerful commentary on nature and wilderness that has been made by any artist of this era. His cats are far more profound works of art than mere contemporary animalia bronzes. Indeed, they fully interrogate the lithe, almost boneless, grace of these apex predators – creatures that impart by their very presence a palpable tension to any true wilderness.

Lewis’ cats are imbued with a unique dense energy by an artist who, through a lifetime of immersing himself in pristine natural environments, somehow contrives to elevate his sculpture into a homage not only to the singular animals but indeed to their ancient lineages. Lewis’ bronzes fully capture the essence of an organism perfectly adapted to its habitat – the bodily expression of DNA adapting to eons of inexorable environmental change. In the presence of his art, it does not take long to be affected by the rare brilliance and self-confident virtuosity honed by decades of work both in nature and his studio.

Whilst his cat sculptures have attracted collectors’ attention, Lewis has gradually shifted vision and focus onto the human figure. Elements of humanity began to be hinted at in some early sculptures in the artists development. A growing body of recent work featuring highly charged emotional and erotic human forms now dominate much of this fascinating sculptor’s artistic output.

Lewis’ sculpture has been avidly collected internationally for decades and this has resulted in two auctions at Christies being wholly dedicated Lewis’ bronzes. Dylan Lewis lives in Stellenbosch, South Africa. He has developed a unique sculpture garden where some of his most celebrated bronzes may be viewed within the natural environment that intellectually nourishes their maker.
