'Relief' by Sarel Petrus, and a view of IS Art Gallery at Le Quartier Francais, showing Sarel's 'Falling feathers' and 'Relief', some gallery visitors and some frolicking bronze hares by Guy du Toit. 'Relief' combines a bronze replica of the head of an antelope roadkill with a wooden reproduction of its body as it lay smashed by the roadside. The wood surrounding the antelope (perhaps a grysbok, an oribi or a springbok) is perforated like a postage stamp. 'Falling feathers' are bronze casts of vulture feathers. Sarel works with Guy (who kept his hat on while chatting to the gallery curator) in his studio on a smallholding east of Pretoria.
