The Fort Worth Botanic Garden will present its first-ever Zimbabwean sculpture exhibit, "ZimSculpt," featuring more than 100 sculptures by several dozen contemporary Zimbabwean artists.
Known as Shona sculpture, these contemporary pieces are carved from various types of serpentine and semi-precious stone, often weighing tons, and can be as large as seven feet tall. This is the most collected form of African art that can be found at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Rodin Museum and in the homes of the Prince of Wales, the Rockefellers, Morgan Freeman, Danny Glover, and the late Michael Jackson.
The exhibit supports 300 sculptors and their families in five different regions of Zimbabwe. As part of the exhibit, onsite sculptors will demonstrate their artistry by carving statues using chisels, hammers, files and sandpaper to create beautiful works while guests watch and learn about the art.
