We’re looking forward to our Summer exhibitions and are collecting furiously from all over the country. We had a great trip out to Tengenenge, the world-famous Sculpture Community based in the middle of nowhere! Tengenenge (watch this documentary) is now owned by world-renowned Zimbabwean Sculptor Dominic Benhura. It was great to see all the […]
We are not a ‘Charity’ and have never implied that. We do our fairshare with donating sculptures for fundraising events (mostly linked to Zimbabwe) and also collect clothes etc which we personally pay to get shipped back to Zimbabwe. We are consistently disgusted by many other Zimbabwean sculpture dealers who are proporting to give generously […]
It’s been 10 years since Zimsculpt was formed. We cannot believe how the time has passed by so quickly and looking back how the business has grown. We came from humble beginnings, exhibiting at shows like House & Garden and Grand Designs, with small stands, trying to break into the market. We’re proud of what […]
Over all of these years I have built up a number of contacts within the arts business – with artists, dealers, galleries and importantly the clients – whom are based all over the world. Everyone is important to us and our relationships with every individual is respectful. Surprisingly it is a small world and one […]
This morning I went with the charity we support (IPA) – details on our website – to donate the many clothes, toys, shoes and bags that were donated to us last Summer. I wanted to share these pictures with you, to say thanks for your support. Whether you donated clothes or have just supported us […]
We’re back in Zimbabwe and things have become quite shocking. It’s difficult to understand the situation. We’ve just had an outbreak of Cholera, with over 400 reported deaths. There is no public water system anymore and electricity is getting just as bad. Sadly in our sculptue business, more and more artists are finding greener pastures […]
Firstly, a big big THANK YOU to everyone who donated clothes, shoes, toys, glasses and footballs to us, these arrived at the beginning of February and we’ve slowly been distributing them to artists families all over the country. Ive attached some pictures of a few artists perhaps you recognise your items?!! The footballs made all […]
We have just acquired the most beautiful sculpture we have ever collected, by a little known artist by the name of Shingarai Dare. We’re really excited about it and extremely proud to show it off. The piece is HUGE, standing at nearly 3.5 metres high. Obviously, not everyone is in the market to buy such […]
Typically the weather has been pretty bad during Chelsea for the past 3 years, but this year the weather was great during the show. However setting up and breaking down after was not so fun – in rain and wind. But after all our hard work putting our Zimbabwean garden together it was well worth […]
We’ve just returned from inaugurating a two-week exhibition in Bahrain, where we were part of the ‘Spring Culture Week’. It was our third year in Bahrain and as usual the exhibition was a great success – thank you to everyone who welcomed us all, including all the local and visiting artists involved in the International […]
