Masked Figures: Sculptures by Anton Smit
Published Feb 17, 2020
South African artist Anton Smit evokes themes of suffering, reconciliation, glory and sublimation in his sculptural artworks.
“Anton collects sayings about the relationship between art and the individual artist’s experience of reality.
Some observers have noted that this is why so many of his pieces, even the most abstract ones, manage to communicate powerfully and emotionally and why his work is possessed of a raw, earthy power that feels innately African.
His body of work comprises towering human figures, nudes, impressive heads, masks, hands, angels, floating and stretching figures, warriors as well as abstract works, using mostly steel, metal, fiberglass and bronze.”
