Pangolin Nocturn
Sometimes, one must simply cease sculpting and merely look, look for all the things that aren't right with the piece…not the things that are imperfect; imperfect is unavoidable and actually desirable.
South African sculptor Steven John Wilkins is celebrated for his emotive wildlife sculptures that capture the movement, texture, and spirit of his subjects.
Steven initially trained and worked as a goldsmith for 12 years. He brings precision and craftsmanship to his art, creating works shaped by memory, light, and the unique character of the natural world.
Based in Johannesburg, Wilkins has exhibited widely across South Africa, and his sculptures offer a poetic reflection on the essence of wildlife.
