Shona Stone Sculpture "Sheltering Soul" Norbert Shamuyarira (Zimbabwe, b. 1962)
About the Item
An African Shona Stone Sculpture titled "Sheltering Soul" by Norbert Shamuyarira (Zimbabwean, Born 1962), depicting an abstract polished Shona stone figure of a crouched and bowing human head with neck, torso and legs, the oversized right hand placed over his right leg and unpolished hair style. Signed: N. Sha. Circa: 1982
Born in 1962 in Chinhoyi District, Zimbabwe, Norbert Shamuyarira Began sculpting at age of seventeen under guidance of first generation Zimbabwe stone sculptor, Bernhard Takawira. Subsequently moved from Chitungwiza to Harare.
Norbert Shamuyarira's work emphasises the softness of human forms and demonstrates a respect for the inherent qualities of the stone he chooses to carve. Much of his work is informed by his personal history and is focused on the theme of the tragedy of human relationships.
