African Art Sculptures
Why Shona art?
African art has received broad interest in recent years, and contemporary African art has become extremely popular, especially Shona stone art
Shona art is independent from other African art styles. Even the material used is non-traditional, stone rather than wood, beads, straw, metal and fabrics.
To understand Shona art, first of all you need understand Africa and African people, their believes and their way of life.
The Shona sculpture must be placed in a cultural context. The stone carvers believe that every rock contains a spirit essence that influences how the stone will be shaped and transformed during carving.
Their job is to release the spirit in the stone, in this way the artist can be truly creative and expressive.
One of the well known Shona artist Fanuel Mutemasango said:
“Sometimes, by just looking at the stone, I can see the sculpture taking shape , like the clouds moving”.
Every piece of art invite you to explore and touch visually, emotionally, physically and intellectually.
The stone is extremely appealing and amazingly beautiful and contains rich colours and textures.
Every piece awake your emotions, touch inner you and every time you look at it, the piece of Shona art will look different, will give you different message.
In the field of contemporary African arts, Shona stone sculpture is renowned for visual quality, and for showcasing individual artists.
Contemporary sculptors keep inventing variations of traditional techniques, and experimenting with new types of stone .
The first rule of any art purchase is: love what you are buying.
The beauty of the stone allow Shona pieces to represent people, animals, plants, and social values with emotional expressiveness and creative elegance. Buying Shona sculpture, you will be buying an authentic contemporary artwork.
We at Batanai would like to share this admiration, fascination and passion for Shona art with you.
