Figuratively Speaking
Sally Blundell meets sculptor Llew Summers for a chat about books, politics, pornography, prostitution and the never-dying art of figurative work.
There is a spring in their substantial step. Despite the heavy limbs and stone plinths, there is a sense of imminent dance or flight. "That's the thing I think I've done, this is where I consider myself to be original, to have monumental works which are all about movement, and which are affirming," says Christchurch sculptor Llew Summers. "I'm fascinated by things that are affirmative of life. You can't dance and feel unhappy, you can't have sex and feel unhappy, you can't sing and feel unhappy."
The minimalism of Summers' sculpted forms, monumental even when in small scale, has become a distinctive feature of his formidable output. Despite little in the way of public commissions or institutional acknowledgement, Summers' work has, for over 30 years , populated galleries, private gardens and public spaces from Kaitaia down to Central. In the Auckland Botanic Gardens, Butterfly, a 1.8m dancing bronze figure, lifts her arms as if in impending flight. On one of Christchurch's busiest streets four large figures form a Bacchic circle of celebration. In Wanaka a single hand on the lake's edge is climbed over, played on and endlessly photographed.
