Welcome to our gallery, where we present to you 'Fluorescent,' a magnificent contemporary abstract stone sculpture inspired by the beauty of African nature. Crafted from green Leopard Stone, this hand-carved piece is a testament to the skill and creativity of Shona artist Sylvester.
Showcased at the recent sculpture trail at the Bishops Palace in Wells, 'Fluorescent' quickly became a visitor favorite. This large garden statue is perfect for outdoor display, adding elegance and sophistication to any space.
Sylvester honed his craft at Tengenenge, the birthplace of Shona sculpture. His work reflects a deep respect for nature and a keen eye for detail, evident in every curve and contour of 'Fluorescent.'
This tactile sculpture invites viewers to touch its smooth surface, explore its intricate patterns, and experience nature's beauty in a new way. Its abstract form is open to interpretation, engaging viewers uniquely.
Whether displayed in a garden, on a terrace, or in a public space, 'Fluorescent' is sure to captivate and inspire wonder. Come and experience its beauty at our gallery today.

While depictions in African stone sculptures may repeat, the patterns in the Leopard stone cannot be replicated, making each large garden statue unique. The artist carves the stone using a diamond tipped chisel. It is then sanded for hours through varying degrees of sandpaper until smooth. The sculpture is then heated and a polish is melted into the stone. Finally it is buffered to leave a wonderfully tactile surface, almost irresistible to touch.

Silvester is one of our leading artists. Living in the region of Guruve in the north of Zimababwe, Silvester has chosen to remain true to his roots living only a short distance from the Great Dyke and Tengenenge, the area from which Shona sculpture originated. Shying away from the mainstream selling avenues, Silvester chooses to remain from where he grew up being inspired by his family and the environment in which his art grew.

Many of our customers have benefitted from a personal appointment. There is nothing like sensing the sculptures in person. That way you can be certain that the sculpture is right for you.
