Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden

Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden began almost by accident.

In 2009, South African sculptor Dylan Lewis hired an excavator to reshape a piece of land beside his home in Stellenbosch.

Gradually, working with the landscape became part of the art itself.

Former agricultural land developed into roughly seven hectares of fynbos, water and pathways, filled with Lewis’s bronze animals and human figures.

The important detail is that the sculptures are not arranged across one neat exhibition lawn.

Around four kilometres of paths move through vegetation, water and open ground, with the garden itself becoming part of Lewis’s exploration of the boundary between wilderness and human control.

So this feels less like a conventional sculpture park and more like walking through one artist’s wider world.

Visits are by appointment, helping preserve both the intimacy of the experience and the landscape itself.
