Contemporary
stone sculpting has been a well practiced and respected art
form in Zimbabwe since the mid 1950s. Abstract and representational
forms, usually sculpted by hand, encompass a diversity of
universal themes. Over the last five decades many of these
sculptors have gained international acclaim through galleries,
museums and sculpture parks in Africa, Europe, America, Australia
and Japan as well as through publications such as The
Economist, Art Review and Times/Newsweek.
The Waterfront Hall will host an exhibition of selected stone
art from Zimbabwean sculptors during the Cathedral Quarter
Arts Festival 2005.A unique opportunity to experience an art
form often referred to as living stone or talking stone.
Exhibition launch Tuesday May 3 at 5.00pm
