Proud New Mother by Brian Watyoka

Brian’s work is so graceful and elegant, there’s not another sculptor that manages to capture the compassion and empathy in a stone as his work does.

We think his work is exceptional.

There is a widespread assumption today that art must necessarily be international… But against this trend one finds isolated pockets of resistance, which suggest that good art can (perhaps must) be a local affair – the product of a particular place and culture. And of the one of the most remarkable in the contemporary world is the last 30 years… placed beside the dismal stuff so beloved of the international art bureaucracy – as they were in the 1990 Biennale – these African carvings shine out in a desolate world.
