African Sculpture by the Shona Master Fine Artists of Zimbabwe
We specialize in the work of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, but specifically a group called the ‘Fine Artists’.
Most of the work from Zimbabwe is abstract, called the ‘Creations’ art movement. However, since the early 1980s, a separate group of superb artist-craftsmen have evolved in Harare and Chitungwiza.
They carve exquisite heads, full length figures and almost all of the African animals, as single studies and intricate, dynamic groups.
About 50 of them can truly be called Masters, as they have all of the attributes of World Class sculptors. They have the consummate ability to make the hard, beautiful Zimbabwean stone live and breathe.
