Product Details
South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki and Botswana's President Festus Mogae unveil Alan's life-size bronze of gemsbuck during the launch of southern Africa's first Transfrontier Peace Park, the
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. More details .
Some of Alan's major commisions include a life-size bronze sculpture of two running gemsbok (oryx) for the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (see details below) and miniature bronzes of a buffalo for the golf players participating in the 1998 One Million Dollar Golf Challenge at Sun City.
Each sculpture is individually cast and hand-finished. Every piece is cast from the finest materials, faithfully reproduced from its original wax carving and mounted on solid railway ties or black granite. Casting is done on order and due to the detail of the work casting and finishing of each bronze is a labour-intensive process. Each sculpture is a limited and a numbered edition and all series are limited to only 30 editions worldwide.
Before commencing work on a piece, Alan does numerous working drawings as well as skeleton and muscle studies until an understanding of the animal form emerges. Only then does he start the final sculpture.

Although an accomplished artist in drawing and painting, Alan began exploring sculpture in 1997 and this medium currently takes up most of his time.
"To portray the characteristics of a wild animal in a two-dimensional way, that is, through painting, is in itself a challenge. However, to capture these characteristics in a three-dimensional form, that is, through sculpting, remains for me the ultimate expression in art." |
