African Fine Arts - AFRICAN-ART

Anyone familiar with Shona Sculpture will have heard of Richard Mteki whose works have been exhibited all over the world. He was born in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1947. His older brother was one of the first Zimbabwean sculptors to astound the international art world more than 40 years ago. Richard Mteki is influenced by the natural shape of the raw stone and rarely disturbs it to any significant extent. Despite his economical style, his sculptures evoke much mood and emotion.
