Richard John Forbes is an internationally-known multi-disciplinary artist with a central focus on sculpture. This month, from February 8, his work goes on show at Knysna Fine Art in a collaboration with renown sculptor Wilma Cruise. The exhibit is named Scorched Earth – A Conversation.

Forbes is unique in that he has the unique ability to use natural materials from wood to iron to stone and any other discarded matter that spark his curiosity which he then fashions into thought-provoking sculptures from small rose quartz pieces to massive garden and land art. He has also made his mark on the planet as a versatile artist who has pretty much put his hand to the gamut of his profession from restoring buildings, to drawing, print, to film and even making theatre sets.
