Artist Robert Raschke, whose studio gallery robART is located in Sergeant's Lane, recently donated a stunning piece of sculpture to Tenby Museum and Art Gallery.

The piece, entitled Zeitfolge, Time Sequence, stands over eight feet tall at its highest point. It is one from a group of Robert's works known as 'Schrimenen' or Schriftmenschen (literally 'written language people') and is in the form of a dancing figure created from the symbols for culture from various and ancient languages.

The sculpture now stands sentinel outside the museum, facing the broad expanse of the seas, but turned significantly towards the town, welcoming with open arms all who venture towards the museum, the local guardians of culture. It seems to be beckoning you in to the museum whilst simultaneously celebrating and bringing together, in gesture, symbol and pose the cultures of the world.

Robert has exhibited widely throughout the world, including numerous shows in his native Germany and also further afield in Europe and America.

His exhibition, Seeing/Feeling, will open at Tenby Museum on Saturday, February 7. The exhibition will feature works of Informel abstract art, more traditional landscapes and sculpture.

Mark Lewis, collections manager at Tenby Museum, said: "This is an incredibly generous donation and we are extremely grateful to Robert for the work. The sculpture, which was placed last week, looks like it has always been there and seems to have found a true home. It is an amazing piece of work."
