Rock Art - Shona Sculpture

The phrase “African Art” conjures up for most Westerners images of Tribal masks and ancient wooden effigy figures.

Such a perception is inaccurate and incomplete. The traditional Arts of Africa were a significant influence on the development of and direction taken by Twentieth Century Western Art.

“Rock Art” started their appreciation of African Art whilst living in Zambia, and the importing of carvings was proposed.

Sculptures were selected personally, with long trips to Zimbabwe, ensuring the right people reaped the gains and sourcing unusual unique pieces of Art.

After 20 years in the business it has been an absolute delight to see how much pleasure these fantastic Sculptures have bought to people and in furthering the growth of a new generation of amazingly talented artists in Zimbabwe today.

Zimbabwe Art -“Shona Sculpture” has the added bonus of being able to live outdoors as well as gracing any home -modern or traditional.
Shona Sculpture is widely accepted as the most important art movement to emerge from Africa in the twentieth century
