Stone 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.
