Notes
'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.'1
