Paul Dibble - X - A Decade of Sculpture 2010-2020 by Fran Dibble

$69.99 NZD

Category: Art and Design

Paul Dibble has traversed many subjects in his sculptural work - often returning to them years later, like godwits coming home to roost. Between 2010 and 2020, human figures and native New Zealand flora and fauna have been among Dibble's oft-revisited subjects, his work refining these figures to their s implest forms.

Prolific in his output and ambitious in his scope and vision, it is easy to see why Paul Dibble remains one of New Zealand's most original and respected sculptors. ...Show more
