For anyone who visits Vergenoegd Löw Wine Estate, it’s clear how much we prize the visual arts. From the paintings, graphics, drawings, photographs and installations to the sculptures, buildings, antiques and landscaping. They are all an aesthetic response to our environment. Our way to record and celebrate our historical, cultural and natural legacy. And just as much, to give expression to our values. In the gardens, you’ll encounter the bronze sculptures of leading South African artist Dylan Lewis.
Conceived as a bridge linking history, architecture and landscape, they show a melding of human with animal forms in the spirit of optimism as we seek to redefine humanity’s relationship with nature. The eternal tension between people and nature is captured in the contrast between the smooth-formed humans and the rough-hewn animals. They are a constant reminder that we must find balance as we farm alongside nature, not against it.
