 David Geenty
- One of the finest sculptors in Europe. With an ever increasing range of highly detailed horses and other animals.
Born in England in 1945 and brought up in Southern Africa, David's
earliest impressions were formed on his father's ranch in the
Gonarhezho, a vast wilderness in the south-east region of present day
Zimbabwe. As an art student in Johannesburg, David was greatly
influenced by Moses Kotler, a South African sculptor of world renown.
David believes that it is to Kotler's tuition that he largely owes his
great animalier talents and technique.
Primarily an accomplished
wildlife sculptor, he has also acquired a respected reputation for his
equine studies both here and in the United States of America, where his
work can be seen in the acclaimed Kentucky Museum of Racing History.
David Geenty is well known in the giftware industry having been
successfully associated with such luminaries in the field as Albany
Fine China , Heredities and Border Fine Arts. His abiding passion is
for the creation of lifelike sculpture, and in this he freely
acknowledges his indebtedness to such mentors as John Hammond of Border
Fine Arts from whom he learnt so much in the past, and for whom during
the ten year period of his association with that company he produced a
series of 42 racehorses, dogs and country life pieces, many of which
have become collectors items in their own right.
Now manufacturing for
himself, creating studies from life of the subjects that continue to
hold and fascinate him, he hopes that his offerings will give others
the same pleasure in owning these as he had in their making. David
Geenty is widely regarded as one of Europe's leading horse sculptors
and his work is collected and cherished by many. |
