Notes

Dylan Lewis is a South African artist who has emerged as one of the foremost figures of contemporary representational sculpture in his home country. Lewis has focused chiefly on the cat as his subject and has created an unrivalled collection of animal sculpture to come out of Africa. He has extended his artistic talents to the human form, especially its relationship with nature, and has had equal success as with his animals.

“The leopard has been my muse for almost twenty years now and although my work has largely moved on to encompass the human figure I still return to my early influences from time to time.”
