We are pleased to welcome a new collection of works by Zimbabwean master sculptor Tafadzwa Tandi and his son Kuda Tandi.
Coming from the renowned Tandi family of sculptors, Tafadzwa Tandi is celebrated for his exceptionally detailed carvings in semi-precious stone, with works ranging from expressive portraiture to striking wildlife sculptures. His mastery of hard materials such as dolomite, verdite, and lepidolite has earned him international recognition among collectors of Zimbabwean stone sculpture.
This newest collection also introduces more work by Tafadzwa’s son, Kuda Tandi, whose emerging creativity reflects the same remarkable attention to form, movement, and character that has defined generations of the Tandi family tradition.
Kuda’s newest sculptures showcase his mastery of both form and material, transforming challenging stones into works of remarkable presence and fluidity. Carefully selected for their dramatic veining, density, and natural character, these stones are among the most difficult to carve — requiring immense precision, patience, and technical skill. Each sculpture reveals the artist’s deep connection to the material, allowing the natural beauty of the stone to become an essential part of the finished work.
Featured in the collection are beautifully carved wildlife studies in richly coloured stone, alongside both large and small contemporary sculpture and paintings now on display in the gallery.
We invite you to visit us on Granville Island to experience these new arrivals and our extensive collection of artwork in person.
