Shona Serpentine Carving
Although Shona Carving has been around for over a 1000 years, It became worldwide known in the 50's and 60's When Artist Frank McEwen introduced it to the Western world by showcasing at various International exhibits.
Frank McEwen was an English Artist appointed the curator of the new National Gallery in Harare in 1957, where he taught informal art lessons to the community. He was very moved and impressed with the talent he saw, although he introduced more modern sculpting and painting technique he encouraged the artists to gain inspiration from within, using Folklore, Shona Mythology and spiritual power.
Shona are took a huge leap in popularity and production when a local South African born white tobacco farmer named Tom Blomfield welcomed local sculptures to use his land rich in extensive deposits of Serpantine, creating diversity and a community of working artists.
By the 1970s Shona Sculptures where being shown in exhibits at the MOMA in New York, the Artists Gallery in Cape town and Feingarten in Los Angeles. Thus furthering the popularity to the Shona Sculptures.
The Shona movement has continued to thrive and grow, Artists have continued to evolve in technique and style, growing with the times, making them extremely sought after sculptures. Their one of kind beauty, detail and quality make them a wonderful addition for any home.
