Wikipedia:WikiAfrica/Stubs/Brendhan Dickerson

Brendhan Dickerson (b. December 10, 1968) is a South African sculptor and educator known for his metal work and fire sculpture performances. Dickerson's sculptures employ large-scale wrought iron and stainless steel, carved wood, and bronze. He draws subject matter from media and pop culture to create social commentary or political satire. His interest in sculpture as spectacle fuels his practice of making kinetic fire sculptures, which are lit as performance art to create a narrative. Dickerson has lectured and taught extensively throughout South Africa.

Education
Dickerson studied at the University of Cape Town's Michaelis School of Fine Art, completing a master's degree in 1996.
