Since the late 1950’s Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture has been a contemporary art phenomenon that has played a significant role in the development of art from Africa. This explosion of cultural expression had early influence from Joram Mariga and his Nyanga Group in 1957, but the main thrust came from the new National Gallery under its first Director, Frank McEwan in 1957-1958. Other important communities such as Tengenenge in Guruve and Chapungu Sculpture Park became involved in the late 60’s and still support and promote artists to this day. Since 1970, Chapungu has been foremost in the promotion of this art form and has run almost all the major exhibitions of importance such as: Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, London, U.K. • Chicago Botanic Gardens, Chicago, IL. • Kasteel Groenevelt & African Museum, Netherlands • Jerusalem Botanical Gardens, Jerusalem, Israel Fort Canning Park, Singapore • Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens, Cape Town, South Africa • Missouri Botanical Gardens, St. Louis, MO. • Palmengarten, Frankfurt, Germany • Denver Botanic Garden, Denver, CO. Chapungu Park can be rented for weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings and fund-raising events. Call 970.962.9990 for rental details..

    ISSN-L: 2223-9553, ISSN: 2223-9944 Part-I: Social Sciences and Humanities Vol. 4 No. 1 January 2013 AFRICA DIGESTS THE WEST: A REVIEW OF MODERNISM AND THE INFLUENCE OF PATRONS-CUM BROKERS ON THE STYLE AND FORM OF SOUTHERN EASTERN AND CENTRAL AFRICAN ART Phibion Kangai 1, Joseph George Mupondi 2 1Department of Teacher Education, University of Zimbabwe, 2Curriculum Studies Department, Great Zimbabwe University, ZIMBABWE. 1 [email protected] , 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Modern Africa Art did not appear from nowhere towards the end of the colonial era. It was a response to bombardment by foreign cultural forms. African art built itself through “bricolage” Modernism was designed to justify colonialism through the idea of progress, forcing the colonized to reject their past way of life. Vogel (1994) argues that because of Darwin’s theory of evolution and avant-garde ideology which rejected academic formulas of representation, colonialists forced restructuring of existing artistic practice in Africa. They introduced informal trainings and workshops. The workshop patrons-cum brokers did not teach the conventions of art. Philosophically the workshops’ purpose was to release the creative energies within Africans. This assumption was based on the Roseauian ideas integrated culture which is destroyed by the civilization process. Some workshop proponents discussed are Roman Desfosses, of colonial Belgian Congo, Skotness of Polly Street Johannesburg, McEwen National Art Gallery Salisbury and Bloemfield of Tengenenge. The entire workshop contributed to development of black art and the birth of genres like Township art, Zimbabwe stone sculpture and urban art etc. African art has the willingness to adopt new ideas and form; it has also long appreciation of innovation.

  • “CHAPUNGU: Nature, Man, and Myth” April 28 Through October 31, 2007 ABOUT the ARTISTS
    “CHAPUNGU: Nature, Man, and Myth” April 28 through October 31, 2007 ABOUT THE ARTISTS Dominic Benhura, b. 1968 in Murewa – “Who Is Strongest?”, “Zimbabwe Bird” At age 10 Benhura began to assist his cousin, sculptor Tapfuma Gutsa, spending many formative years at Chapungu Sculpture Park. Soon after he began to create his own works. Today he is regarded as the cutting edge of Zimbabwe sculpture. His extensive subject matter includes plants, trees, reptiles, animals and the gamut of human experience. Benhura has an exceptional ability to portray human feeling through form rather than facial expression. He leads by experimentation and innovation. Ephraim Chaurika, b. 1940 in Zimbabwe – “Horse” Before joining the Tengenenge Sculpture Community in 1966, Chaurika was a herdsman and a local watchmaker. He engraved the shape of watch springs and cog wheels in some of his early sculptures. His early works were often large and powerfully expressive, sometimes using geometric forms, while later works are more whimsical and stylistic. His sculptures are always skillful, superbly finished and immediately appealing. Sanwell Chirume, b. 1940 in Guruve – “Big Buck Surrendering” Chirume is a prominent Tengenenge artist and a relative of artist Bernard Matemura. He first visited Tengenenge in 1971 to help quarry stone. In 1976 he returned to become a full time sculptor. Largely unacknowledged, he nevertheless creates powerful large sculptures of considerable depth. His work has been in many major exhibitions, has won numerous awards in the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, and is featured in the Chapungu Sculpture Park’s permanent collection. Edward Chiwawa, b. 1935 northwest of Guruve – “Lake Bird” This first generation master sculptor learned to sculpt by working with his cousin, Henry Munyaradzi.

  • “CHAPUNGU: Nature, Man, and Myth” April 28 Through October 31, 2007 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
    “CHAPUNGU: Nature, Man, and Myth” April 28 through October 31, 2007 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS “Chapungu: Nature, Man, and Myth” presents 23 monumental, hand-carved stone sculptures of people, animals, and creatures of legend created by artists from the African nation of Zimbabwe, many from the Shona tribe. The exhibition illustrates a traditional African family’s attitude and close bond to nature, illustrating their interdependence in an increasingly complex world and fragile environment. How does this exhibition differ from the one the Missouri Botanical Garden hosted in 2001? All but one of the sculptures in this exhibition have never been displayed at the Missouri Botanical Garden. “Chapungu: Custom and Legend, A Culture in Stone” made its U.S. debut here in 2001. Two large sculptures from that exhibition were acquired by the Garden: “Protecting the Eggs” by Damian Manuhwa, and the touching “Sole Provider” by Joe Mutasa. Both are located in the Azalea-Rhodendron Garden, near the tram shelter. “Sole Provider” was donated by the people of Zimbabwe and Chapungu Sculpture Park in memory of those who died during the September 11, 2001 tragedy. An opal stone sculpture from the 2001 exhibition – Biggie Kapeta’s “Chief Consults With Chapungu”– returns as a preview piece, installed outside the Ridgway Center in January. Many artists from the 2001 exhibition are represented by other works this time. How do you say Chapungu? What does it mean? Say “Cha-POONG-goo.” Chapungu is a metaphor for the Bateleur Eagle (Terathopius ecaudatus), a powerful bird of prey that can fly up to 300 miles in a day at 30 to 50 miles per hour.

She comes from one of the great stone sculpting lineages – her father, brothers and son - as Bisi Fakeye, hails from one of the great wood sculpting families of Nigeria. Here's a few lines from the Gazzambo Gallery website... Born in Nyanga in the year 1960. This artist refers mainly to women in Zimbabwe's traditional society and to the role they play in their families. Her sculptures, often using Springstone and Leopard Rock, are often monumental, transmit great force and are characterized by a sense of peace, calm and dignity. This issue also contains a review - entitled 'Beautify The World With Stone' - of Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture, compiled by Doreen Sibanda and published by Weaver Press.
