Richard John Forbes (b. 1970, Johannesburg) is a multidisciplinary artist with a central focus on sculpture. He creates sculpture, gardens, land art, furniture, set design, architecture, drawings, prints, and film. His work is at once subtle and bold; grounded and ethereal, ancient and modern. Constantly exploring materiality through his hands. Nature and its wonders guide his craft. As an internationalist, he has traveled extensively throughout his life
Forbes discovered the impact of scale as a restorer of historic architecture in the United Kingdom, and his practice considers space in the urban and natural landscape while internal light and cavernous volumes have made a huge impression on his art works. Forbes’ work stands in many private collections around the world and is publicly featured at Nirox sculpture park , Spier wine estate, Norval institute and Modern art projects.
Forbes maintains a restored heritage barn as his studio next to the Outeniqua mountains, in the western Cape, in South Africa.
