Inwoners van Jeffreysbaai is bederf met die vele beeldhouwerke wat op verskeie plekke in die dorp opgerig is. <\/p>\n

Nie net is daar die dolfyn by die hoofstrand Dolphin Beach nie, maar ook die een van die vissermanshond Brag, die branderplankryer by Kabeljous, en \u2019n engel by die Soetelief park. <\/p>\n

Die abstrakte skaalmodel van die grootste brekende brander wat ooit gesien is \u2013 wat elf verdiepings hoog was \u2013 met die branderplankryer is \u2019n baken by Mentors vulstasie.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Kuns vat vlam na aftrede<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dit is alles die handewerk van oud-professor Renier Viljoen (82), \u2019n inwoner van Edenglen aftree-oord. Hy was eers \u2019n navorser in antropologie en sosiologie by die RGN. Daarna het hy hom in die akademie gevestig en was die dekaan van die Fakulteit Sosiale Wetenskappe, en het op die Universiteit Vrystaat se senaat gedien. Met sy aftrede en verhuising na Jeffreysbaai, het hy vir die eerste keer begin om beelde te maak. <\/p>\n

\u201cDit het alles begin nadat ek my rotstuin hier mooi gemaak het, en iemand my toe gevra het om ook haar tuin uit te l\u00ea. Daarna het ek \u2019n wandelpad hier by die oord se dam uitgel\u00ea en die dam-area ontwikkel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maar toe meen die oud-prof daar kort iets: beelde! Sy eerste beeld, \u2019n meermin (op aanbeveling van sy vrou Maggie) het hy van ho\u00eb gehalte vlekvryestaal en sement gemaak.<\/p>\n

Wiskundige figure sy gunsteling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Viljoen hou baie van wiskundige figure en abstrakte beelde. Nou staan daar al talle beelde in die dam-area. Sy werke is ge\u00efnspireer deur gebeure in sy lewe met liefde as die goue draad.<\/p>\n

\u201cEk hou daarvan dat die werke deel moet vorm van die omgewing. Soos diei moebius<\/em> figuur wat ewigdurendheid, of in di\u00e9 geval ewige liefde, simboliseer. Dis vir my \u2019n fassinerende figuur.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beelde van koestering en hoop<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

Om elke hoekie by die dam-area is \u2019n verrassing: moeder en kind, grootouer vreugde na die geboorte van hulle eerste kleinkind, oupa vreugde, \u2019n verliefde paartjie. <\/p>\n

Die lied van Leonard Cohen, Dance me<\/em>, was ook die inspirasie vir \u2019n beeld. Daar is \u2019n abstrakte beeld van \u2019n bejaarde paartjie, en beelde wat koestering en hoop uitbeeld by die ingang van die oord. <\/p>\n

\u201cEk is veral ge\u00efnspireer deur die werke van die beeldhouer Henry Moore wat ek op my buitelandse reise te\u00ebgekom het. Die klem is op die omgewing. Dit moet deel wees van die omgewing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Viljoen het gesorg dat daar visse in die dam kom, en toe sommer \u2019n dolfynbeeld gemaak en \u2019n terras gebou. Die 800 meter lange wandelpad wat hy uitgel\u00ea het is na hom vernoem. <\/p>\n

Man van vele talente<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEk is gelukkig baie handig, en het op skool leer sweis. Met die eerste beeld was dit \u2019n probeerslag en dit het begin lekker raak. Ek het heelwat opgelees oor hoe om te werk te gaan. Ek hou baie van ou motors. Hier staan juis \u2019n replika van \u2019n 1902 Rambler wat ek gebou het,\u201d s\u00ea hy trots van die rooi motor. <\/p>\n

Hy het mettertyd betrokke geraak by die Dorp van Dromers wat gelei tot die beelde wat in die dorp te sien is.<\/p>\n

Viljoen hou niks van stilsit nie. Hy het al verskeie werke vir mense gedoen. Eers word die tekeninge op grafiekpapier gedoen en dan word die staalstruktuur gemaak. Daarna word dit bedek met sement. <\/p>\n

\u201cHier staan seker meer as twintig van my beelde in die dorp. Maar nou beplan ek \u2019n beeld van twee bejaardes\u201d en hy verduidelik presies hoe dit gaan lyk. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
