The nascent 'Shona sculpture movement', which began in the fifties, has grown to be regarded as an art renaissance, as it had evolved, without hardly any sculptural heritage, into an art genre displaying vigor, spontaneity and originality in an area of Africa previously dismissed as artistically barren in the visual arts.

'Meditation' original opal serpentine sculpture signed by Zimbabwean artist Dudzai Mushawepwere. The sculpture uses abstraction in the human figure to capture an abstract state of mind: the sculpture presents the form of a woman, her hips wide and arms long. Her arms reach over and hold her circular head, which floats neckless above the torso like a nearly-setting sun. The figure thusly separates their mind and thoughts from their bodily and earthly concerns and instead connects themselves to the heavens. The image reminds of the dancer drawings of European modernists like Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, but it reminds especially of the ballerinas Salvador Dali created for Walt Disney's 'Fantasia.' opal serpentine 33 x 21.25 x 7 inches, sculpture 3.75 x 15.5 x 7.5 inches, concrete base 36.75 x 21.25 x 7.5 inches, overall 86 lbs signed "Dudzai M." along bottom edge of sculpture Overall good and stable condition; some minor scratches to surface Dudzai was born in 1974 in Mutoko. He is the last born in a family of four. He is the younger brother of sculptor Tendai Mushawapwere. Dudzai grew up in Chitungwiza, a high-density suburb just outside Harare, where he completed his primary education. Dudzai showed early signs of artistic creativity while at school. He started his sculpting career in 1990 when he was taken on by the sculptor John Type as his assistant. He worked with John for two years sculpting contemporary visual art under his supervision and then set up on his own as a full time sculptor. He is inspired to sculpt by his ancestors who were also artists. Through his research and interests in African culture, he found that his cultural history was becoming defunct in sculpting and he wanted to revive this art form by teaching himself as well as others. The most effective way he found to let the people of his origin know the importance of their culture was through sculpture. There he explores themes ranging from day to day activities to cultural history and visiting places of interest. Today, his sculptures can be found in galleries in Germany, Belgium, Holland, the U.K. and the U.S.
