Where art and fly fishing meet.
Bronze sculptor @chris_bladen_sculpture crafts some of the most beautiful fish sculptures in the world. A true master of his art. Using his time on the water fly fishing to take details and inspiration into his studio.
While Si was home in Cape Town he managed to spend some time with fellow South African Chris, getting to know his process, and to film a bit of it to share some of it with the world. A peak behind the scenes and into the studio and mind of the artist.
Enjoy the piece and if you end up wanting to own one of Chris’ works, please let him know that the film brought you there. He doesn’t only make fish, he sculpts other wildlife and birds too with the help of his specialized team.
This was a major passion piece for Si, as he finds the intersection of artistic minds and fly fishing to be something of a story in itself. When he and Chris started talking about the potential of a short piece it was clear, given how their personalities meshed, that something would come to fruition and that it would hopefully be the start of a few pieces of a similar nature with other artists to come.
