South African sculptor Angus Taylor, born in Johannesburg in 1970
and alumnus of the University of Pretoria, is known mainly for his
monumental works. For these, in addition to the classic bronze, he
uses a selection of materials special to his immediate environment:
black granite, red jasper, straw, and the red earth of the Pretoria
region. In the symbiosis of these materials with traditional
artistic craft techniques, distinctly contemporary works arise,
which Taylor pioneeringly positions as figurative landmark
sculpture. This first-ever monograph on Angus Taylor offers a
comprehensive survey of his oeuvre to date. Key works from his
entire career since the founding of his studio Dionysus Sculpture
Works in 1997 are featured in full colour illustrations throughout.
The essays discuss Taylor's methods, practices, and personal
philosophies and put his work is context within South Africa's
social situation as well as with his own biography. The book offers
a much welcomed profound introduction to Angus Taylor's innovative
and characteristic body of work.
