Renowned sculptor Anthony Scott has just opened an exhibition entitled Hunter/ Hunted at the Solomon Gallery, Dublin.

Consisting of 14 exceptional bronzes, the majority of which were created between 2021 and 2022, and based on the theme of the predator and his prey, which playwright and critic Brian McAvera in his catalogue forward notes suggested has biblical links. “Expelled from Eden, Man is forced to become a hunter, even training animals to kill for him.”
