Friends Forever Square Chikwanda 1907 Leaf Man Springstone 33 × 16 × 6 cm 500 € / 3.800 Kr 1901 Gourd Head Lemon Opal 40 × 12 × 31 cm 475 € / 3.500 Kr quare blev født i 1972 i Guruve. 7 år gammel flyttede han med sin S familie til Tengenenge Skulptur kollektivet. Hans far blev skulptør i Tengenenge og lod ham hjælpe sig med at pudse og polere skulpturer. 13 år gammel begyndte Square som selvstændig billedhugger, og udviklede sin egen stil. I 1995 forlod han Tengenenge for at arbejde i Chapungu Skulptur Park i Harare, og her blomstrede hans kunstneriske evner og færdigheder. Hans arbejde har en stærk kraft, og samtidig udtrykker hans figurer en klar følsomhed, særligt udtrykt i de forfinede ansigter. I dag bor og arbejder Square i Chitungwiza syd for Harare, og hans værker har været udstillet over hele verden. Square Chikwanda was born in 1972 in Guruve, Zimbabwe. When he was 7 he moved with his family to the Tengenenge Sculpture Community. His father, already a sculptor at Tengenenge, allowed Square to assist him with sanding and polishing. At the age of 13 he started sculpting on his own, and with time he began to develop his own style. In 1995 he left Tengenenge to work at Chapungu Sculpture Park in Harare, and it was here he started to hone his artistic skills. His work has immense power, yet his figures retain a tenderness apparent in their refined facial features. Square now works on his own in Chitungwiza and his work has been exhibited worldwide. 1910 Head Lemon Opal 25 × 9 × 13 cm 375 € / 2.800 Kr
Friends Forever Lawrence Mukomberanwa “ Jeg begyndte at lave stenskulpturer da jeg var meget lille, fordi min far var mesterskulptør, og når du vokser op i de omgivelser, begynder du blot med at lege med værktøjet, så allerede fra barnsben af kom jeg ind i det. Selvfølgelig kunne det ikke blive til så meget i begyndelsen, du skulle passe skolen, og siden gymnasiet og siden fik jeg min uddannelse som pilot. Jeg arbejdede som pilot i ca. to år, men jeg var så forelsket i kunsten og derfor endte jeg der, du ved, kunsten er mit liv. Vores ideer er meget forbundet til vores kultur og samfund, nogle kunstnere siger, deres ideer kommer fra mere urørlige ideer som drømme og lignende, men det er noget jeg har i mente. Og ved du hvad, med økonomi, politik, der er så mange ting der inspirerer os. Jeg kan kun sige, jeg var meget priviligeret ved at have en far som Nicholas, jeg lærte meget af ham – ja, alting.” “ I started sculpting, when I was young, you know, because my father (Nicholas Mukomberanwa) was a master sculptor, and when you are growing up as a kid, you are just playing with these tools as toys, so as soon as I was born I was into it. But at first I couldn’t do it so much, because of other commitments like school. I finished my high school and then got my certificate as an airline pilot. I worked as a pilot for about two years, but I found that my love was so much more into art, and it ended up being in me, and, you know, my art is myself. 1759 Family Opal 158 × 100 × 60 cm 7.500 € / 55.875 Kr Our ideas are so much connected to our culture and society – some artists say, their subjects come from less tangible ideas like dreams, but, with me, I still am to experience that one. And you know, with economics, politics, we have so many things inspiring us. And then there are the times when you want to feel the other side of life. You don’t have those feelings all the time, they come once in a while, you know, and if you are in such a mood you carve a piece and if you are asked to do it again you can’t repeat it. I can say I was so much privileged to have a dad like that one, because I learned a lot from him – I can say: everything!”
