Rangarirai Makunde Art

Zimbabwean, b. 1969

Rangarirai Makunde was born in 1969 in Bikita district, Masvingo province, Zimbabwe. In his early twenties, he moved to Harare, seeking better employment opportunities than were offered in his hometown. There he worked for two years as his uncle Gladman Zinyeka’s assistant and admired the way he created his sculptures. Makunde is one of the most acclaimed artists of the new generation of sculptors. Makunde carves from observance and to bring form out of stone. He began sculpting full time, which enabled him to develop his own unique style. With stone sculpting, he finally discovered a means of expressing himself. His favorite stones to work with are the hardest ones. His creations radiate a distinctively vibrant energy and color. Makunde takes particular pride in his finishes and unlike many of the other sculptors, he prefers to do the last stage of polishing himself, up to the final finish. He has had several exhibitions to his credit.
