Entitled "The Leap" this lifelike bronze wildlife sculpture of a wildebeest aka gnu, was accepted for inclusion in the premier London exhibition held in the Mall Gallery by the Society of Wildlife Artists.
In Africa, it is said of the Wildebeest that it was the last animal created which God cobbled together from bits and pieces left over from other beasts. There is no natural flow, which makes the sculptor's task hard enough even before it is posed impossibly on one pointed hoof leaping forward into a river bed. A creature of odd appearance and childish habits, the Gnu is subtitled 'the clown of the bushveld' but there is nothing childish about this work. This magnificent sculpture depicts the desperation of extreme effort in the face of danger that can be both seen and felt.
