Conrad Hicks, "Component II", Copper, Stainless Steel and Timber Sculpture

About the Item

Conrad Hicks is an artist, blacksmith and tool-maker in Cape Town. He specializes in hand forged metal work, using only traditional blacksmithing jointing methods as he believes these are essential to the symbolic meaning of the finished form. He sees his artistic practice as an instinctive search for beauty. Working intuitively, he allows his materials and labour-intensive process to determine the final form. In the process of cutting, pressing, heating, hammering and stretching metal, he discovers an archetypal language that calls to mind ancient art forms. For the past 10 years, Conrad’s work has evolved to focus more on sculpture and one-off collectible pieces. He has exhibited with Southern Guild since 2013, when he was included in the influential Heavy Metal show at the Bronze Age Foundry in Woodstock. Since then he has shown to international audiences at design fairs such as Design Miami/ Basel, Design Days Dubai and Collective 1 in New York. He will hold his first solo with the gallery in May 2019. 'Component II' is from Conrad's first solo exhibition at Southern Guild, 'Implement'.
