Ante Dabro (born 13 January 1938, Čavoglave, Croatia) is a Croatian-born Australian artist/sculptor and art teacher who has lived and worked in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory since the late 1960s. Dabro's sculptures are typified by angular form; many are nudes and bronzes. His work is said to embody universal themes, "suffering, hope, sexuality, heroism, spirituality" but also silently acknowledge the 'outsider'.〔(Ante Dabro: Croatian born-Australian Sculptor ), Dr Peter Read, Australian National University, accessed 29 January 2008〕 ==Principal works== A selection of Dabro's works are listed: * Royal Australian Navy Memorial, Canberra - ''Sailors and Ships - Interaction and Interdependence'' (1986), unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II on 1986-03-03, the 75th anniversary of the Navy. * Australian National University:〔(Sculpture on Acton Campus ) (brochure), Australian National University, accessed 29 January 2008〕 * * ''Contemplation'' (2002) - a response to the poetry of Judith Wright * * ''Sir Winston Churchill'' (2001) - Winston Churchill Trust * Brindabella Business Park, Canberra International Airport; these are in the collection of the airport's owner, Terry Snow, and are on loan to BBP: * * four bronzes at water features, ''Susanne'', ''Dancer'', and ''The Bathers'',〔(The Bathers unveiled ), ''The Hub'' magazine, Canberra Airport, February 2006, accessed 29 January 2008〕 all dated 2005〔(Artist in residence ), Brindabella Business Park website, accessed 2009-08-23〕 * * a bronze figure ''Genesis'' (2009), unveiled 2009-06-02 by the Governor General of Australia, Quentin Bryce.〔(Governor General of Australia to open sculpture by world-renowned Artist Ante Dabro ), media release, 2009-06-02, accessed 2009-08-23〕 * Canberra City * * "Resilience" (2009) * Saint Matthew, (1984), St Matthew's Roman Catholic Church, Page, ACT Image:Susane-Ante_Dabro.JPG|''Susanne'' (2005), life-sized bronze nude, sits on a wall beside a reflecting pond, BBP.
