'Fountain of Wisdom' by Tolleck Winner

Wouldn't we all like to learn from the Fountain of Wisdom? Sure we would like to learn from that! For some of us it is too late to learn anything... Life go's by like a flash of lightning and before long we are too old and too grey to realise all the missed opportunities in life. This piece of sculpture says it all, the thick layers of glass and black granite, layers and layers, in an unfinished shape of a pyramid, of discovered and undiscovered ways of life. While the fountain of wisdom has meaning and a great influence and significance in our lives... and we go through life like being blind folded, blind in every sense. Though our eyes let us see, but only what we want to see. As an artist I am trying very hard not to let my own life influence this piece of work, but it is very hard not to, as I am the creator of this piece of Art.

'Self Iflicted Pain' by Tolleck Winner

Self inflicted pain is just something some of us can not avoid. Since the beginning of times we have been inflicting pain on to one another. This piece of sculpture is been cast in acrylic with cast iron. I feel using this particular medium does justice to this piece work. Human beings will always self inflict pain up on themselves and others and nothing will ever change... it is a sad reality and as an artist is my obligation to bring this out in a piece of art. This piece of sculpture, is not something I enjoyed making, but the truce must be told and shown, as negative it might look or sound, but this is a reality of life.

'Unity' by Tolleck Winner

Creating this sculpture gave me a great joy. My initial thought was when I made this piece, thinking of families being united, then nations being united and finally thinking of world unity. Symbol of unity must have universal understanding.

'Simplicity' by Tolleck Winner

I believe in simplicity of life. I created this peace of work for Octavia Hill Charity, for their new building in Holland Park London. The staff who work in the building called one day to thank me for the piece of sculpture that gives them energy when they arrive to work in the morning. My work as a sculptor, I thought was done in this instance. Simplicity, in everything we do, works every the time.

'The Power of Money' by Tolleck Winner

Often people who say 'money is not everything in life' - they have lots of it. Money is the only man made tool that gives everything in life except health and happiness, though even health and happiness sometimes can be rectified by money. Some people say 'money is evil' - money can only be evil, if it is the hands of evil people. Money is the only tool can buy everything and more. There has not yet been proven system that can create a comfortable life for all. Nor Capitalism, Socialism or Communism has given the population of the world a comfort zone that we do not have to kill one another for money. Is there any system has really given the majority people life without poverty or stress? I like to think that maybe one day the leaders of the world will wake up and let all the people all over the world live in peace and harmony with one another. There is enough of everything for everybody. So why kill and destroy one another in the name of money, greed and power to control.

'Healing Time' by Tolleck Winner

We go through life without realising, there is a time in our lives we must take a few steps back and think of reflection and healing time. No matter how healthy we are on the outside, but on the inside we need constant healing , whether it would be mentally physically or emotionally. The invisible force of healing time sometimes takes over our lives without realising how far we have gone into the oblivion.

'Simplicity of Colours' by Tolleck Winner

We will always be searching... for that something! Simplicity of colours was conceived in a block of acrylic cast with pieces of coloured glass and stone. Throughout our lives we try very hard to visualise and make these colours part of our lives. Whether we ever experience and fill our lives with these colours? Only some of us ever manage to experience and fill our lives with beautiful art, music, different culture that brings out such wonderful feelings and emotions in us. We are so fortunate to be able to see and experience these wonderful colours, but some creatures in this wonderful world of ours are too blind to see and feel this colours!

'Dumbbells and Nails' By Tolleck Winner

Unveiling of this sculpture by the Mayor of Kensington in the Bupa Nursing Home garden. This piece of work is very personal to me and the way my life had evolved over the years. Almost 13 years ago I nearly got killed in a very bad road accident. Prior to accident I was a fitness fanatic and the frustration of no longer being able to use my dumbbells any longer I decided that this dumbbells will still have some use in my life, so I made it into a piece of art. I believe, everything happens to us throughout our lives - there is for a reason.

'In Conversation' By Tolleck Winner

Our past and future is all about being at the right place with the right group of people. This piece of work relates to the groups of people, from all walks of life, communicating with one another. Again our life evolves around the specifically selected group of people that we are in communication on a daily, or weekly or monthly basis. Our own lives really going back to the beginning of time - when it all started with the tribes. But that tribal way of life never left us. We are constantly communicating in the tribal way of life, some in large groups and some in small groups. Some in very high influential and some in not so influential groups. Our intellectual ability to communicate and influence others will stay with us ever.

'Conditioning to the End' by Tolleck Winner

Abstract sculpture is not just about beauty, but about life, shapes, forms and most all the energy within the work itself. This piece of work was conceived by accident, I was cutting aluminium sculptures and the symmetrical off cuts gave me the idea and enormous amount energy to form this shapes into another medium - acrylic cast. As you walk around the piece there energy and movement in this sculpture that moves the insides of your body as you walk around it. It was a great joy to make this piece of sculpture and it gave the imagination to create other similar pieces which gave me an experience of completely different magnetite of feelings and emotions.

'Looking Out' by Tolleck Winner

'If everybody follows what the bible say and take eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth, then the whole world will be blind and toothless' Mahatma Gandhi

Do we really look close at what we do to ourselves and to others? Through generations and all the wars and genocides, we have learned very little. Taking few steps back and Looking Out at what we really doing to one another and for what? Indifference's in culture, beliefs, colour, race or just envy. Is this what we really want for us and our children? Not really... So we really need to take a few steps back and say... To live in peace and harmony with one another, this is what all of us need. Love, tolerance and compassion this is all I want for all of humanity.

'People' by Tolleck Winner

'Imagination is more important knowledge' Albert Einstein

An important message. Knowledge we can obtain from books, Internet, newspapers and even hire someone to provide us with the right knowledge. But imagination is something one can not learn from a book or the Internet... Every one of us has imagination, some more and some less. And key to unlock the doors of our imagination, is to keep on developing the creative ability that we have. Our imagination has taken us to the moon, flown us around the world, has given us homes, cars, electricity, modern technology and given us the ability to create art, sculpture and write and compose beautiful music and many other wonderful things and of course we have created some very destructive things as well. Who knows where the knowledge of today might take us in the years to come. If we all use our knowledge to create constructive things rather destructive, than our lives and our world will be more peaceful and wonderful. I would like to believe that one day People will realise there is enough of everything in this wonderful world of ours, to love and enjoy and live in harmony with one another.

What critics say

While images such as ‘Skull’ have become popular icons of fashion, repeated in such a way that they no longer maintain associations with mortality, Tolleck Winner seeks to re unite these symbols with their traditional meaning in order to remind us of the vulnerability of human existence.

'Self Portrait' by Tolleck Winner

Many of us fear death! As an artist I see death as a beginning and an end of a life cycle... Just like a flower; at the beginning you see a tiny shoots, then a bud, then a flower in full bloom, then enjoyment of that flower in full bloom, then eventual deterioration of the petals of the flower and then eventual decay of a flower. So, my conclusion life - is a beautiful flower, and we must except it, even embrace it, as there no control or a way out of avoiding death. Therefore the only questions remain is - how and when? I am not saying for one minute this thought must be on our mind all the time.
