One of the leading sculptors in the world is set to see his first commissioned artwork in the Southern Hemisphere unveiled in Hawke's Bay next month.
Paul Day's newest work will be unveiled at Craggy Range's Giants Winery by owners Terry Peabody and his family at a function on October
2 - with the artwork being three bronze charolais cattle sculptures encompassing a bull, a cow and a calf - each a tribute to the rich, rural landscape of Hawke's Bay.
Mr Day, who achieved acclaim for several monuments in London including a Battle of Britain memorial and a monument to the Queen Mother, will be present for the unveiling with the sculptures under wraps until then.
Mr Peabody and his wife Mary, who are long-time admirers of Mr Day's work, contacted him and commissioned the works.
"Our hope is that the sculptures at Craggy Range will add to the wonderful landscape of art that already exists in Hawke's Bay and may contribute to increasing the diversity of tourism in the region."
