Tafadzwa Tigere Tandi And Arthur Manyengedzo

Ukama Gallery, Vancouver, BC - May 1 – 16

by Robin Laurence

This exhibition spotlights the work of two leading stone sculptors from Zimbabwe. Arthur Manyengedzo is recognized for his semi-abstract interpretations of human and animal subjects; he has said that he is sometimes inspired by the raw stone and sometimes by his dreams. Tafadzwa Tigere Tandi works in a realistic style and is best known for his detailed busts of men and women in traditional headwear and jewellery, executed in hard stone such as verdite, lepidolite, dolomite and “butter jade.”
