Artwork location: France

A work by world-renowned Zimbabwean artist Zachariah Njobo. The stone used for this sculpture is White Dolomite, which is beautiful, hard, and inlaid with quartz nuggets in places. This sculpture can be installed indoors or outdoors. An ode to motherhood with this work, capturing the birth of the first child in time. This captivating sculpture is distinguished by its organic and refined forms, suggesting the delicacy and harmony of nature. Made of white stone, it features two main elements in the shape of slender leaves, standing elegantly upright. The skillfully integrated grainy texture creates a striking contrast with the smooth surface, adding remarkable visual depth. The curved and flowing lines evoke a sense of movement and growth, symbolizing the perfect fusion between earth and art. The sculpture appeals with its ability to capture the essence of nature while maintaining a sophisticated simplicity. The artist demonstrates impressive technical mastery, paying homage to the subtle strength and serenity inherent in natural forms. This work encourages meditative contemplation, exploring themes of transformation and fulfillment.

Zachariah Njobo
Zimbabwe  • 1962

Presentation

Zachariah was born on September 24, 1962, at Birchenough Bridge in central Zimbabwe. It is part of the Ndau tribe, a tribe specific to this part of Zimbabwe, between the Shona in the north and the Ndebele in the south of the country. Their language is also a mixture of shona and ndebele.

He is the fourth child in a family of six, and at the age of 13, he stops school because his parents can not continue to pay for his studies. Already, during his studies, he is familiar with sculpture thanks to an uncle who works with wood.

As soon as he stops school, Zachariah stays at home helping his father to work the land, continues the woodworking and starts carving the stone in his spare time.

At 20, he moved to Harare to look for work. He discovers the Canon Paterson Art Center where young artists can get equipment and stone for free. In return, their creations are sold by the center for the benefit of the blind and disabled.

Very quickly, Zachariah becomes self-employed and his very recognizable style of work allows him to exhibit in all major galleries of Harare. The curves and the lines get married to deliver a result full of sweetness and simplicity. His perfect mastery of the serpentine reveals pure, timeless, design sculptures.

Zachariah has for some years been one of the leading artists of the current generation of Zimbabwean sculptors. His works are now exhibited in international galleries (United States, Belgium, Germany, England, Australia, France ...)
