About the Item

KENNEDY MUSEKIWA Kennedy Musekiwa was born on May 29, 1962 in the Marondera region of Zimbabwe. He is married and has four children. He was first inspired by his cousin, Victor Mutongwizo, and in 1985 began to work under his guidance. However, Joseph Ndandarika, first generation sculptor and a world-renowned master sculptor had the most influence on his sculpturing career. At first, Kennedy worked only on a small scale but as the years went by, he dedicated himself on a full time basis to sculpting, working on exquisite small pieces on which he built himself a reputation. He expanded his creativity and began to carve large pieces, including life-size types. When carving figures, Kennedy relies on his imagination and he usually creates traditional spirit themes. In some instances, he eloquently follows the natural shape of a raw rock from which he then draws the form. His works have been extensively exhibited in Europe, South Africa, Botswana, Canada and in particular the USA.

'Caring Mother' original springstone Shona sculpture by Brighton Mutongwizo
Located in Milwaukee, WI

The sculpture presents a moment of motherly devotion, with a woman's tall figure embracing her child. Their faces are calm and content, with downcast eyes and full lips. In capturing these figures, Mutongwizo plays with the texture and finish of the stone, using a fine polish to emphasize the softness of skin alongside natural and rough textures to describe the texture and movement of hair. springstone 26 x 8 x 5 inches, sculpture 1.25 x 7 x 7 inches, base 27.25 x 8 x 7 inches, overall not signed acquired directly from the artist overall excellent condition with no signs of wear or damage Brighton Mutongwizo was born on the 15th of March, 1975.

'Mother and Child' original stone Shona sculpture by Obert Mukumbi sitting
By Obert Mukumbi
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Mother and Child' is an original stone sculpture by the Zimbabwean artist Obert Mukumbi. This sculpture is unlike most other examples of Shona sculpture in that it has been carved to sit on a step, ledge or shelf rather than to stand upright. While this difference offers the chance for a more interactive artwork that can be set in unexpected locations, the aesthetics sensibilities that Obert applies to the subject are steeped in the Shona tradition. The materiality of the stone is on full display, with the artist playing with textures of rough-hewn stone and smooth polish. In addition, the mother and child show an intimate relationship, a common and desired theme amongst Shona artists. springstone not signed 25 x 10 x 11 inches, overall body stands 16 inches tall from seat legs extend 9.25 inches downward from seat concrete base included at request of buyer 95 lbs Overall excellent condition with no signs of wear or damage. Obert Mukumbi was born on February 11, 1974 in the village of Dengu in Bindura, some 86 kilometers north east of Harare, Zimbabwe, where he likewise completed his O-levels in school. During his education, he was interested in wood craft. By age twelve, however, he began working in stone under the guidance and encouragement of his brother Kennedy Musekiwa...
