Breaking apart

Fragmented Leopard Torsos

Lewis dissected lion and leopard carcasses in order to gain a greater understanding of cat anatomy to express movement and power in a vital way. During dissections, he was struck by the vulnerability of the predators’ flesh, and the similarity between cat and human anatomy, highlighting the ambiguity between humans and animals. At a deeper level, these fragmented, sometimes brutal works were symbolic of a necessary disintegration of the artist’s belief systems that no longer served him.

Dylan has grouped the sculptures within the garden not as a response to a conscious plan but rather, as he describes it, through a process that unfolded intuitively over many years, in which certain sculptures seemed to ‘gather’ into distinct areas.
