Description

Cheetah sculpture by Dylan Lewis at Kirstenbosch botanical gardens in Cape Town. Between 1993 and 2000, Lewis mostly explored the cat form, focussing primarily on the large feline predators of Africa, namely the leopard, lion and cheetah. His large cat sculptures began as a direct and literal, visceral response to the wild animal within its natural environment. He was fascinated by the raw and totally intact instinct behind these feline physical expressions, seeing them as symbolic and archetypal bodily responses - the most extreme manifestations of intrinsic animal being.
