New US Embassy, Harare officially opens, representing ZimSculpt sculptors

6 May 2019

We were honoured to have been approached by the US Government in Washington DC to advise them who we thought were some of the top Zimbabwean sculptors of all time.

From our list they chose Tapfuma Gutsa, the late Joram Mariga (represented here by his widow, Maud Mariga) and Sylvester Mubayi.  Here they are at the new US Embassy Harare, proudly standing by their sculptures representing Zimbabwean sculptors for all time.

We thank the U.S. government for supporting Zimbabwean artists and making this important cultural exchange between us.

I’ve seen the previous two ZimSculpt exhibitions and, judging by the preview photographs, this year’s collection has a much more modernistic cast, somewhat whimsical in several of its pieces. Earlier exhibitions were “heavier,” always a problem with stone; several of this year’s major pieces are very graceful, more stylistic, and probably more attractive to a Western audience.
