Curators of Zimbabwean Sculpture Worldwide
The work of Zimbabwe’s top 100 sculptors work are on display and for sale at the Cannizaro Park ‘Italian Garden’. Live demonstrations will be given by three Zimbabwean sculptors invited for the exhibition.
This is the final year exhibiting at Wimbledon for the team of ZimSculpt.com, who travel the world every year to host exhibitions in different venues, including the USA, Canada, UAE, Bahrain, Germany and South Africa. They were proud winners at the Chelsea Flower Show again this year…
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.”
