A 17 hectare artist's farm!

Papillon Charity@papilloncharity (83)2511d

We discovered huge art treasures today!

The first 3 photos are of a large sculpture in the "Rising Masculinity" group on the art farm.

An invitation that I was so glad that we accepted. This is the art farm of Dylan Lewis and as you will see here, the man is a master sculptor. Dylan converted an unused flat piece of farmland into an artists paradise. We only had 2 hours to spare, but this beautiful place needs many more hours to appreciate all the works placed into designated groups across the farm. Join us on our walk!

This Lady pointed us on the way!

A part of the "Forbidden forms" group.

Also in the "Forbidden forms" group!

Too beautiful not to include here!

Part of the "Rising masculinity" group!

Just to give you an idea about the size of the farm!

Part of the "Wild Symbols" group!

Also in the "Wild Symbols" group!

A part of the "Beauty in brokenness" group!

Finally my favorite is also in the "Wild Symbols" group. Beautiful isn't it?

Just to tell you that I took a heap of photos during the 2 hours that we spent here and I only selected a few to show you. I have no urge to place 20 or 50 photos here and will rather place more photos in separate posts to titillate your senses.

Now many are going to ask me for more information about this place and the artist's great history. You will also want to see how all of this came about. So what you do is that you visit his website to read some amazing stories!

Spectacular! I love the idea of "rising masculinity" to counter "toxic masculinity" and I am with you on your favorite - that last one makes me feel like I am flying. Love the first one too, especially from far away.
@wonderwop(67)· 2510d

Stellenbosch is such a pretty region, to find art like this is a hidden gem Stephen.

Excellent photography, the "Wild Symbols" group would be something I would enjoy.
@birdsinparadise(68)· 2510d
Oh my goodness @papilloncharity!!!!!! This is unbelievable, the artistry both rugged but yet beautiful. Set against the mountains, wow! I am speechless, what a treat you found :) Blessings my friend, thanks for sharing.
@redheadpei(72)· 2510d
These are wonderful sculptures, Sir Stephen. What a wonderful outing to experience nature and these wonderful statues.

The last one is fantastic. Looking forward to more.

Blessings!

hello i love them What a good idea, I was impressed by the muscular man with the mountains in the background, very well coupled. The male cabrio is also interesting with its horns and figure of man. but the one I like the most is the deer jumping free I would love to see it and I believe you with saying that two hours are not enough Happy day

@mrnightmare89(74)· 2511d
incredible sculpture and so beautiful, it's true that one sculpture was your favourite is also my favourite. I love how the sculpture tried to imitate an animal jumping into circle.

Oh wow the artworks are amazing. It is also nice to see the artworks not being vandalized. Here in our country some people just want to destroy beautiful things. One example is at our local park. They put up some nice attractions like dinosaurs and different sorts of animal statues. Last time I visited the dinosaur lost a horn, the gorilla got a big hole. Well enough said.
@anneke(70)· 2511d
Wow what a fabulous place
@abitcoinskeptic(75)· 2511d
That looks like an amazing landscape to be inspired to create more art. Wonderful photos.
@porters(73)· 2511d
Oh that is a marvelous art find! To find such beautiful sculptures of such magnitude, enhanced by the beautiful natural setting! Thanks so much for sharing this - beautiful to see - Dylan Lewis is truly a master sculpture!
@wwwiebe(74)· 2511d
Now that's what to do with a huge tract of land! That's incredible! It amazes me the work's of art that people can build when they put their minds to it. Absolutely stunning.
@deepwaters(55)· 2511d
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for taking us along with you! I enjoyed the forbidden forms pieces specifically. He is a very talented artist!
@melinda010100(80)· 2511d
Incredible sculptures and how wonderful that he has used an entire farm to display them! I will be looking forward to seeing more of your photos!
@amalinavia(65)· 2511d
the "Wild Symbols" group is my favorite too! The statue is amazing. There is balance and grace!)
@fredkese(72)· 2511d
