The solitary journey of a lone cheetah, sculpted in 18-karat gold, is portrayed as it walks past a thorn tree in a dry, parched landscape. The cracked soil underfoot emphasises the harshness of the environment, while the scene extends towards the open plains of the Serengeti. The golden light of the setting sun creates a tranquil yet poignant atmosphere, capturing a fleeting moment of beauty and serenity in the wild.

Artist Collaboration: Simon Shone and Martin Osner's collaboration under "African Art Fusion" celebrates artistic creativity and cultural heritage, merging their distinct talents to create a diverse collection featuring bushveld landscapes, iconic places like Table Mountain, vibrant urban scenes, and abstract art. As personal friends of faith, they share a mutual appreciation for each other's art, resulting in a unique fusion of Simon's expertise as a master goldsmith, craftsman, and sculptor and Martin's blend of traditional painting with fine art photography. Their works, which sometimes involve collaborative processes and independent creations, are showcased at their exclusive gallery in the Clock Tower at the famous Waterfront district in Cape Town, highlighting the richness of African art and offering a unique fusion of sculpture and visual storytelling.
