Rangarirai Makunde Figurative Sculptures
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.

Bufo Contemporary Bronze Sculpture Nude Boy Marble Stone Male Figure
Wim van der Kant (1949, Kampen) is a selftaught artist. Next to his busy profession as a teacher at a high school, he intensively practises his profession as a sculptor. Only when his work would measure up to his own standards, he decided to present it to the rest of the world. In 1995, he exhibited for the first time with Morren Galleries. Van der Kant desires to sculpt young people who still stand uninhibited and curiously in life. The reason he chooses to sculpt boys is, because he is one himself, this way the subject is closer to him. The anatomy of his figures testify of perfectionism. Van der Kant's subjects show similarities with the sculptures from the Greek and Roman antiquity...
