The Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden
2025
Located between two worlds, one wild, the other tamed, the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden borders both a rugged mountain wilderness where leopards still roam and the suburbs of Stellenbosch. In this garden of private myth on the southern tip of Africa, world-renowned sculptor Dylan Lewis explores the notion of the wilderness within.
This book represents a walk through the garden. The text draws on excerpts from the sculptor’s tour to guide the reader through over 60 sculptures spanning his career to date: his early birds; the large and iconic cats and African animals; and the human figures he has explored since 2005 — including shamanic images, male and female torsos, and increasingly abstract, large-scale works. Thoughtfully positioned along three kilometres of paths, each sculpture speaks directly to the landscape and its visitors about the inherent duality of the human condition — life’s dance of opposites, and acceptance of our constantly shifting state.
Published by Africa Press, with photography by Elsa Young, David Ross and Dylan Lewis.
