ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This gladiator is the third in a series of Warriors that I'm doing. I went for the tarnished look patina so the sculpture appears to have just been dug up out of some ancient archaeological site and the cut away style to further engage ones imagination of an era long gone.

Hi, I was born in Johannesburg in 1966 and grew up here. I moved to Durban at the age of 15 and and worked part time at the Dolphinarium and the Snake Park. After school I spent the next 20 years working in the wildlife industry on various game reserves and also did a couple of stints filming lions and hyenas in the Okavango Swamps and the Namib Desert. I have always dabbled in creative endeavours whether its drawing or photography but really only started sculpting in bronze in 2000. It's something that lay dormant since the age of 7 when I saw a bronze Native American which ignited the flame. I am totally self taught and have never received any formal tuition. This perhaps made my initial forays into sculpting a little clumsy but the more I sculpt, the more I evolve my techniques and ideas. My progression is very organic. My favorite subjects are the human form, African wildlife because I have spent so much time working with animals and Native American themed subjects as I have, since my earliest memories, had an acute affinity to them and their culture. Of late my creativity has exploded and I have pushed myself further and further, exploring a much looser and more organic style as I feel this adds far more character to the sculpture and engages the imagination much more deeply. It also represents my own spiritual transformation which is ever more expansive.
