Urban Echoes merges two South African artists, celebrated sculptor Anton Smit and graffiti extraordinaire Mars.

- When two visionary minds collide, new art comes to life -

Imagine a juxtaposition of eight large heads, each three meters tall, transformed into a painting.

Featuring eight Easter Island-inspired sculptures created by Anton Smit, with all given a graffiti new-look by Mars.

Each viewpoint transforms the individually painted heads which resembles Johannesburg’s urban vibe and changes the sculptures into a painted landscape.

Come view this Unique Collaboration of Sculptures and Graffiti!

“There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.”

– Hussein Nishah

South Africa boasts a rich history of prominent women who have set the path for others to follow.

This Women’s Month, however, Anton Smit is celebrating all women who walk their own path. From those who have reached the pinnacle of success, to those who succeed every day by forging ahead despite the anchor of hardship trying to weigh them down.

In honor of every woman who works tirelessly to improve her life and those around her, Anton Smit will not only be offering discounts on all his pieces, but every purchase of a life-size Female sculpture from the Selection also comes with your choice of a Complimentary sculpture from Anton’s Miniature Bronze Series.

Miniature Series - Bronze 
 

With his Female Series, we encounter Anton Smit’s exploration of the female essence. That nature is elegantly revealed through a woman’s surrender to the power of love, expressing both vulnerability and strength in her pursuit of a profound, everlasting connection with herself and those around her.

To all the women who lend their strength to the world, may you enjoy a magnificent Women’s Month!

WELCOME TO THE WALK OF LIFE

The Anton Smit Exhibition at Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens

The collaboration between Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens and renowned South African sculptor, Anton Smit is an extensive showcase of the artist’s contemporary sculpture and life works. The unique woodland gardens breathe life into the sculptures for art lovers, visitors and collectors alike to enjoy as a journey, an exhibition titled, ‘The Walk of Life’.

‘The Walk of Life’ is one of the largest sculpture parks in Europe, comprising over eighty individual, monumental works made from bronze, resin and steel, thoughtfully placed in harmony with the gardens and includes several pieces specifically created for Leonardslee. Including Smit’s signature colossal heads, human figures and masks, the showcase allows visitors to experience the artist’s extraordinary practice in the stunning setting of Leonardslee.

This brand new Sculpture Park and Art Gallery showcases a wide variety of the artist’s life works and extraordinary practice in harmony with the historic Grade I listed woodland gardens, creating new vistas across the valley and our seven lakes.

A poet as well as an artist, he offers further meaning to the works with verse of his own and others, including Thomas Hardy and William Carlos Williams, which are featured alongside the sculptures.

“My work is driven by faith; the spiritual essence of every piece is an answer to that inner call.” — ANTON SMIT

Anton Smit with one of his art works entitled "Speed Head"  - 2021 at Lourensford

Address: Lourensford Road, Somerset West, Cape Town, 7130

The post Lourensford Wine Estate appeared first on Anton Smit.

Seen something different around Century City lately? A life-sized statue of a man, his arms open and his face turned toward the sky, his silhouette etches against the shape of Table Mountain in the distance. The figures of three women, balancing on the tips of their toes, circling inward. An enormous female face, its edges seemingly blowing in the wind.

These impressionable sculptures are part of a 30-piece collection that make up the new Anton Smit Open Air Exhibition.

The sculptures are spread out in public areas around the Century City precinct and the exhibition is open to the public free of charge.

The exhibition is made up of various sculptures, ranging from the ethereal Crouching Angel, a winged figure which seems to suspend in the air, to the imposing giant figures of The Walking Man and the famous masks, which have become synonymous with Anton’s work.

“When Anton approached us for a possible collaboration, we were humbled and incredibly excited at the prospect of joining forces with such a renowned South African artist”, says John Chapman, Chairman of the Century City Arts Foundation.

Century City Art Foundation contacted the artist in 2020 to purchase one of his sculptures, Voëlvry, for its Century City Arts Trail collection.

“I had a consignment of sculptures returning from an international exhibition and when we heard about Century City’s love of the arts and its goal to increase public awareness and experiences, we loved the idea of an open-air exhibition.” says Anton.

“On our first visit to Century City, we were blown away by the precinct. It is beautifully maintained, expertly designed and I could immediately picture my sculptures across all the green open spaces, some of them near the canals and others etched against the architecture."
