Description
“Most collectors of art are in my opinion visual people. They enjoy seeing art. So, to enlighten the collector to what I have in mind the best way is to sculpt it small. I must say I too like this group of running Giraffe. The reason being that I can see the whole thing at once and I guess one’s mind does the rest! You cannot see the majesty of the Empire State Building if you are standing next to it; same with the Giraffe. This little Giraffe piece has a very small foot print and could fit easily as a centre-piece of a dining room table without blocking eye to eye contact of the people sitting at the table. It can be also be enlarged if a collector so wishes.” John Tolmay

About The Artist – John Tolmay, African Wildlife Bronze Sculptures
“I live in that head-space between past and present, translating scenes and images that are vividly recorded in my mind into waxes and clays. I use various foundries around the States to expertly cast them into the pieces of art that grace homes, studios, trophy rooms and offices around the world. While being an artist and a hunter I am also personally committed to Conservation. I started what is known as the “Nyawa Pilot Project” in Zambia.
The aim of this project is to achieve a better balance for rural people and their resources. Gradually the slow process of change is gaining momentum and it is my sincere hope that the concept of Community Based Wildlife Management will cease to be something that is only spoken about and become policy in the near future.”
