SCULPTURE GARDEN
©Fried Contemporary Art Gallery & Studio
The DBSA
has recently relaunched and rebranded itself. For these purposes Fried
Contemporary was approached to create a sculpture garden on the theme of the
baobab, probably the most frequently discussed botanical phenomenon in Africa
that has a pre-historic appearance providing for one of the most dramatic
spectacles Africa has to offer.
Whilst
the garden improves the aesthetic appearance of the main entrance, the
sculpture garden project of the Development Bank of Southern Africa in
Midrand strengthens the image of the DBSA as as an organisation that strives
to support Southern African culture and arts as well as to contribute to
sustainable development in the country.
The
artists Collen Maswanganyi, Gert Potgieter and Susanna Swart installed the
three large sculptures outside the main entrance of the DBSA and Daniel
Mosako created a large painting for the entrance hall of the main building.
