About the Artist
The lesser-known representative of Zimbabwe sculpture is Bernard · Matmela
Bernard · Matemera is one of the great figures of the Shona sculpture movement in Zimbabwe, and he has very striking and powerful works. Bernard blends his signature stylized facial features with the simple form of a bare head. Despite the high strength of the stone, Bernard managed to imbue the stone with the sensation of his thumb pressing into the wet clay.

As a child, he showed great talent in woodcarving and enjoyed traditional country crafts such as clay models, but like many other sculptors today, Tom· Blomfield and Tengenange brought him the most significant change of his life – the introduction to stone carving. He quickly built a surprisingly personal and powerful style that he maintained throughout the years of exploration, hardship, and success.
