Godfrey Kututwa’s education was cut short by lack of funds to pay school fees and by his own physical disability- he cannot speak and is almost completely deaf.

Godfrey began sculpting at the age of 21 as a result of encouragement from Claud Nyanhongo, one of Zimbabwes leading artists (several of whose sons and daughters also sculpt). For several years he stayed and worked with Claud, mostly in Chitungwiza, a high-density village, about 20 kilometeres from Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare.

Since 1996 he has been working on his own and has established himself as an artist capable of creating powerful and expressive sculptures.

His subject matter is taken mostly for the natural world; animals, birds and human figures – sometimes interacting in portrayals that reflect Shona ancestral spirit beliefs.

Through his sculptures Godfrey has found an eloquent means of expressing himself. He comments, My work will stand for my voice to the world.

For centuries, botanical gardens around the world have featured sculpture throughout their grounds… Now, the (Naples Botanical) Garden is capitalizing on its “Gardens of Latitude” tagline to present more than 200 stone sculptures from Zimbabwe, which rests in the same 26 degrees north and 26 degrees south band around the equator that is the Garden’s focus.

Brian Holley, Executive Director at the Garden, says “I think just providing the opportunity for people to see the quality of sculpture that is being produced in Zimbabwe will be a surprise to most people,” he says. “But even more important will be the way that the sculptures enhance the experience of visiting the garden.”
