My flesh covers the tough clay,
my bones to rocks are metamorphosed,
that’s the cold northern star burning
in my eyes, those legs, those thighs,
my monstrous trunk, my erect head,
here it ends. – Anton Smit

“I have always believed that art should be a conversation. These sculptures are meant to be hypnotic, drawing the viewer in to ponder the fact that we are but one of many. It is a reminder that only together can we continue to thrive.” - Anton Smit

Artwork: WHIRLWIND - “IZANDLA ZIYAGEZANA”

“Hands wash each other” and “One good turn deserves another”

At the heart of Anton Smit’s work lies a profound exploration of the human spirit.

Known for sculptures that navigate the complex landscapes of reconciliation, glory, and suffering, Smit’s latest series – Tornado and Whirlwind – offers a poignant visual metaphor for our modern world.

Whether rendered in large-scale public installations or intimate gallery pieces, these art works serve as a force of nature, pulling the viewer into a deep conversation about what it means to be part of a whole.

The Power of the “Whirlwind”

This series features a recurring theme of overlapping hands that form a seamless, dynamic circle. These sculptures are not merely static objects; they are rhythmic compositions that speak to the interconnectedness of all life.

“Whirlwind” and “ Tornado” are from Anton’s Abstracts Series, and have editions available for purchase

REFLECT - Stone Cast

” Conversation is a game of circles.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

In conversation we pluck up the termini (end /boundary) which bound the common silence on every side.

The original Reflect artwork is now also available in a Stone cast.

This artwork can be purchased as a set of three figures ( triptych) or per single figure.

ℹ️ Anton shares about the process behind making a Stone Sculpture:

“ To do this, I decided to make it a project as communal as possible by employing a number of people to collect stones from the mountain and dressing them by hand, then laying them into the mold of the Reflect piece, one by one securing them with a stone- paste made from pulverized stone and resin.

This is a painstaking process that keeps three artisans busy full time for approx 6– 8 weeks. A thick layer of glass fibre is applied on the inside of the sculpture and a steel armature to give the work strength.

Steel reinforcing rods protrude from the feet of the sculpture to which a steel cage is welded.

The sculpture is then placed upright into a square steel mold into which concrete is poured to form a concrete base on which the sculpture stands. “

Dimensions per single figure: (H) 2,125 mm x (W) 495 mm x (D) 290 mm

Material: Stone and Steel

WHO IS ANTON SMIT ?

Anton Smit is widely perceived as a deeply
spiritual, disciplined, and visionary figure
whose personality is inextricably linked to
his creative output.

Observers and critics often describe him as a “force of nature” due to his relentless work ethic and the monumental scale of his ambitions.

His character is characterised by a profound sense of faith and a belief that human existence is a spiritual journey manifesting in a physical
realm of “discovering miracles” through art.

FAITH, SUFFERING, AND GLORY

The interplay between suffering and
glory is a recurring narrative in Smit’s
larger-than-life installations. Drawing
from his own profound faith, Smit views
the act of creation as a spiritual discipline.
