Guy is well-regarded as one of South Africa’s most accomplished sculptors. “Liberated” by the advent of democracy in South Africa from having to concern himself and his art with the notions of Identity, he has turned his attention to “less provincial” pursuits like revelling in form, concept and media for their own sakes.

 

Guy uses the unexpected juxtaposition of bronze casts of universal, everyday found (and made-to-look-found) objects to invite his audience to invent dialogue themselves.

​

He was awarded his BA(FA) Degree with a distinction in sculpture. His work has been exhibited extensively, both in South Africa and internationally. He has been consistently supported by private and public collectors, institutions, academics and fellow artists. He has been honoured with many awards and has in turn been invited to curate and adjudicate numerous exhibitions.

​

Honoured with several awards, he curates and adjudicates exhibitions and lectures at a number of institutions, including Pelmama Academy in Soweto, The University of Pretoria, Tshwane University of Technology, University of Johannesburg, and the Johannesburg School of Art, Ballet, Drama and Music. He gives workshops throughout South Africa and has been involved in community projects, seminars and symposia.

​

The past few years have increasingly been spent on private and public commissions, and in working closely with artists and businesses, especially those involved in design, communications, architecture, advertising and entertainment.

​

Guy currently teaches part-time at the University of Pretoria and works between his studios in Pretoria and Graulhet.
