He comes from a family of Zimbabwe Artists, & learned to sculpt stones from his father, Claude Nyanhongo, who helped create the Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement in the 1950's & 60's, the most prominent art form to emerge from Africa in the 20th century. Forging his own vision, Collen Nyanhongo transforms traditional figures into metaphorical abstractions. Transcending his past, he's establishes himself as a worldly Artist whose work has been honored in Zimbabwe, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Holland, England, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, & the United States. Collen sculpts in all sizes, from a 15-ton marble public art project in Fort Collins, Colorado to smaller pieces that demand to be held & caressed. He prefers working with hard stones like Springstone, Serpentine, & Lepidolite, & ships them in from Zimbabwe quarries to wherever he's living & working. Collen is a bridge maker, crafting sculptures the span varying cultures & languages to sing of human experience & emotion. Honoring simplicity & directness in his life & his art, Collen's work compels viewers to dismantle all that is trivial in their lives & contemplate the vitality of the human spirit. While Collen's permanent home is in Zimbabwe, he travels throughout Europe & the United States for art shows & gallery events. If you have a desire to learn, Collen is available to teach, offering workshops & individual sessions, in addition to completing commissions & sculpture gardens, throughout the world.
