Richard Mteki Signed African Zimbabwean Shona Figurative Stone Sculpture
By R. Mteki
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful, wonderfully executed sculpture by renowned African sculptor/artist Richard Mteki (Born 1947) who lives and works in Zimbabwe. This piece is carved from serpentine stone which lends it its dark green coloring with splashes of yellow/lime highlights. The work is signed with his customary incised "R. Mteki" along the lower edge of the base. Richard Mteki's work is best associated with the Shona sculpture movement. In 1986 Mteki was commissioned by the Zimbabwean Government to create a piece for the National Sports Stadium in Harare, a piece depicting the Zimbabwe national bird. The sculpture was a massive undertaking, weighing over 1 ton and placed at the entrance to the stadium. He was again commissioned by the Government in 1982 with one of his pieces being given as a gift by President Robert Mugabe to the Nigerian head...
