Current Exhibition

For October 2024, ZIMMERMAN is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of sculptures by Dan Dibble.

Some of the works featured in this month’s exhibition test the limits of the bronze casting process; other works test the limits of Dan’s sculpting abilities, from modelling detail to capturing form.

The exhibited works are diverse - there is a virtual garden of freestanding flower sculptures, a collection of exuberant spiral forms, and two large “walkers” on the land.

But perhaps the stars of this month’s show are Dan’s “huia people” – the sculptures with huia heads and human forms, which give the sculptor scope to portray a wide span of expression and emotion.

Dan’s huia people range from figures that appear cool and aloof, to those that are animated and engaging.

One work, The Lovers, depicts a male and female figure gracefully intertwined.

Dan considers the huia people he has created to date “barely scratch the surface” as to the possibilities that lie ahead – be sure to watch this space!
