Synopsis

Nestled in the foothills of Stellenbosch, near Cape Town, the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden is part gallery, part sanctuary. This immersive landscape-wildly curated and profoundly personal-serves as the crucible for Lewis's creative and spiritual transformation. Home to more than sixty monumental sculptures, the garden is a pilgrimage site for those in search of deeper meaning through art. In the past decade, the sculptor has unveiled a breathtaking new series of works, here presented to an international audience. Bronze and stone faces emerge as archetypes-guardians, shamans, warriors, and spirit beings-summoned from the earth as if awakened by the artist's hand. The volume is a philosophical journey captured in stunning visuals, where Lewis brings sculpture full circle-returning it to its elemental origin. In this sacred space, nature is not merely a backdrop. It is mirror and muse, reflecting both the wild terrain of the Earth and the untamed inner landscapes of the self.
