Zimbabwe Sculpture and Shona Sculpture
"Zimbabwe" means "great stone house". It is fitting that stone sculpture is
the art that most represents the people of Zimbabwe. It is also referred
to as 'Shona Sculpture'.
The exuberance of the work, the vast varieties of stone, and the great skill
and imagination of the sculptors has led to many years of major exhibitions
worldwide; which have been greeted by extraordinary critical acclaim.
Zimbabwean stone sculpture, despite the political and social upheavals across
the country, remains a truly contemporary force, combining successfully with an
ancient cultural heritage. The art is direct, powerfully human and is often
extremely beautiful.
Based in Harare, Zimsculpt.com have a unique opportunity to be in constant
communication with the artists and thus privy to the latest cutting edge
sculpture being produced in Zimbabwe today.
