POLISHED ACT
I
am a sculptor – a hands-on person,’ says
Louis Chanu of the art he has been passionate about since he was
a child. ‘I love creating new things, and with bronze you are
unlimited in what you can achieve in terms of colour, shape,
texture, movement and delicateness.’ His favourite piece is
‘Attitude’, the first work he ever completed. ‘When I finally
rubbed the beeswax on that sculpture I couldn’t believe I had
done it.’ He’s not the only person enthusiastic about his
sculptures – Louis was the featured artist at the opening of the
Kanonkop Wine Estate Art Gallery last year, and Johann Rupert
and Richard Branson have both added his pieces to their art
collections. Louis Chanu, 021-859-3419, chanuart.co.za
