Gerard McAbe Profile

McCabe is a self taught artist, working in the sculptural medium, predominantly bronze cast by the 'lost wax' (cire perdue) method. This is a multi stage process, beginning with modelling from sketches, to moulds for casting, finishing and fettling work on the cast bronze, culminating in 'patination' (colouring) of the finished piece. All stages including the casting (foundry work) are carried out by the artist himself.

Gerard has work in collections throughout New Zealand, Australia, America and England. He has been represented in many group shows.
​
Gerard is particularly well represented in the field of equestrian sculpture. Many of the major racing trophies in New Zealand & Australia have been sculptured by Gerard. He has been commissioned to make the annual 'Horse of The Year' awards for the last 6 years.
