Catalogue notes

Nesbert Mukomberanwa was born in 1969 in Buhera, central Zimbabwe. In 1987, he

began to study sculpture with his uncle Nicholas Mukomberanwa, one of the most famous and internationally respected artists of the Shona sculpture movement.

By 1989, Nesbert had gained enough experience to begin working alone. He left his apprenticeship and worked from home in the town of Chitungwiza. There he worked for nearly a decade, developing a distinctive style and gaining international recognition.

Later, Nesbert relocated to the tranquillity of the countryside, where he is finally free to concentrate fully on his art.
