HOPE

SIZE: LARGE MEDIUM

ARTIST: SYLVERSTER SAMANYANGA

 Entitled 'HOPE', this stunning sculpture is hand-carved from a single piece AVOCADO STONE by 3rd Generation SHONA artist, SYLVESTER SAMANYANGA.

His pieces sell world wide and it's easy to see why. His attention to detail and the expressive nature of each piece is breath taking.

'When sculpting I use hand tools; hammer, punch, diamond rasp, chasing hammer and chisel. My favorite stone to curve is Springstone, Opal, Cobalt and all Serpentine. I have sold my works to the UK, China, Canada and most European countries. My ambition is to be known worldwide like other big artists and travel around the world demonstrating art. I am married and have 2 children, a girl and a boy. During working my wife helps me with ideas, sanding, rasping and polishing.'

Shona sculpture is an art form passed down through generations. It carries with it the heritage and stories of the Zimbabwean people, where the secrets of the craft are transmitted from one generation to the next, safeguarding ancestral knowledge and techniques that have been refined over centuries.

Would look fabulous in any home or garden setting.

Dimensions: H57 x W42 x D11cms.
