First Place in Bronze
Charged by the artist’s passion for African wildlife and conservancy, this piece is sculpted around the human-like contemplation of the model. The sculptor instils thoughtfulness in his work through the baboon’s poised posture – a suggestion to appreciate the animal for what it is.
This limited-edition piece has been recreated just 15 times, and as part of the artist’s early collection, it has unmistakable future value. The rich bronze atop black granite makes it a worthwhile addition to any contemporary home.
Priced From: US$3000
Fun Baboon Fact: A baboon's cheek pouches, which are located inside its mouth, have the same storage capacity as its stomach. Baboons are able to fill their mouths with food at clever locations because of this insurance mechanism.
