About the Item
'Kudu' is an original springstone sculpture signed by the Zimbabwean artist Terence Paradzai Nehumba. Terence was trained in the Shona stone carving tradition and this is an excellent early example of his work, combining abstract and animal forms. Indeed, the sculpture could be described as animal interlace, as the necks of the two Greater Kudu, an antelope species native to eastern and southern Africa, entwine together to make a figure eight. The sculpture subtly references the water as well as the land as the negative space between the antlers of the kudu outline the form of a fish. The abstract forms of these animals allow them to encapsulate abstract and spiritual meanings and to connect the creatures of the world with its creator. Indeed, the sculpture resembles another sculpture by Terence entitled 'Receiving Heavenly Blessing' where a human figure's head and hand emerge from the top of the figure eight.

Terence Nehumba is a self-taught artist, born third in a family of eight. He was brought up in an artistic environment: his father was a class 2 carpenter, and a number of well known artists including Chituwa Jemali, Nisbert Mukoberanwa, and Tanderai Marezva worked in his neighborhood. The work of these figures inspired Terence at a tender age.
Terence started to sculpt in 2001, primarily making abstracts and animal figures. He is particularly comfortable working in springstone, known for its hardness and brilliant color. He participated in the first Agio International Sculptors Symposium in 2004 and continues to work toward becoming one of the world's best stone sculptors.
