Resting
Description
Actual height about 1m
Sampson Kuvenguhwa, a master sculptor known for his unique Mapiti style, has created a breathtaking Shona sculpture of an older man resting under a tree. The attention to detail is truly remarkable, with every line and curve carefully crafted from a single piece of serpentine stone.
Kuvenguhwa's use of the different colours in the stone is particularly impressive. By playing with the natural variations in the stone, he has created a beautiful effect that highlights the textures and details of the sculpture.
As with many of his other Shona sculptures, Kuvenguhwa's work captures the essence of everyday life in Zimbabwe. This sculpture reminds us of the importance of taking a break and enjoying the natural world around us.Try it!
