“Here must be one of the last of the real open spaces left in Africa, with vast quantities of animals and so with it, endless inspiration.” Says Robert Glen of Tarangire National Park in Tanzania.
Born in Kenya in 1940, Glen studied taxidermy at the world-renowned studio, Coleman Jonas of Denver, Colorado. His training inspired him to sculpt animals and by 1970 he had cast his first bronze.
Glen has traveled extensively, having lived with nomadic camel herders in the north and northeast of Kenya and in national game reserves in Kenya and Tanzania. His meticulous study of the people and wildlife has enabled him to accurately represent his experiences in his magnificent bronze sculptures, all of which are cast at Fonderia Artistica Mariani in Pietrasanta, Italy.
Glen has participated in numerous international group exhibitions and held solo exhibitions in the United States, Canada, Spain, South Africa, and Kenya. His bronzes are part of many private collections, including those of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, His Highness the Aga Khan, and His Excellency, the late president of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta.
