Artist: Esau Karuru Stone: Guruve Serpentine Title: Eagle
Shona sculpture is a globally renowned modern art movement from Zimbabwe, emerging in the 1950s by blending ancient stone-carving traditions with modern artistic expression. It centers on spiritual themes, folklore, and the metamorphosis of human and animal forms.
Today, the movement continues to evolve, with new generations blending these deep-rooted traditions with contemporary social themes.
Most sculptures I purchase are in the abstract form, but some styles such as this eagle are more apparent. The Chapungu Sculpture Garden in Loveland at Centerra has 82 donated Shona sculptures from the late Roy Guthrie
