"Sentinel Gaze" portrays a lone cheetah, sculpted in 18-karat gold plate, poised on a flat plateau overlooking a serene valley in the African bushveld. The scene is rendered in a monochromatic sepia tone, giving it a timeless, tranquil quality. Thorn trees line the valley's edges on low-lying hills, framing the open grassland. The cheetah's vigilant posture suggests a readiness to hunt, embodying elegance and alertness in this quiet, serene canvas of nature.
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 other times 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.
