Euwitt with his sculptures photographed by Anne Garvey

Euwitt Nyanhongo is a superb sculptor. His work is skilled  formed from the rock of his home country Zimbabwe. The stone may be cold but Euwitt is warm and open – his work is all about love, connection and hope .Spring stone is his favourite medium. Deep inside it is ebony but the exterior is a tawny rough texture. The combinatioin of the two in some of his works is awesome.

Green avocado stone is the inspirational material for several sculptures , the  Silent Thoughts, Rainbird , in lovely green stone Welcome with her door flung open in a generous open gesture. And in Spring stone there is the iron clad Bond of Love, a breaktaking tour de force in ebony , intricate as it is simple. His guiding axiom is ‘listen to the stone’

Welcoming

Euwitt’s father was a sculptor and incredibly eight of his brothers and sisters have followed his calling into the world of shaping stone into sublime art. Euwitt has nineteen brothers and sisters, he has never been near an Art School  he was taught in the school of family life yet his work is varied and overflows with  precision and skill.

Cambridge is now home to this exceptional artist  He loves the city, he tells me. However with his temperament and delightful outlook on life, he would be welcome and happy anywhere.

Bond of Love

Euewitt exhibited at the Art Space on Victoria Road this weekend, but he is  more than willing to entertain private views . His prices for these frankly priceless are modest. The towering version of intertwined love sith its enigmatic finish is tops but there are many sculptures offered at far less.
