Dominic Benhura

Dominic Benhura was born in 1968 in the small town of Murewa, just outside Harare. Dominic began to work on his own small sculptures, then gradually on larger works, all of which were attracting much positive attention. The young Benhura was developing his own unique style. In 1987 he turned to sculpting full-time and began to take his work to Chapungu Sculpture Park. By 1995 he was regarded as being amongst the most important second-generation artists, his work sought after by both local and overseas collectors.These years also marked the beginning of overseas travel and he attended workshops in the United States, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Germany.
Dominic refuses to limit himself to stone and freely uses materials available. He believes that the only truth is within himself and his own experiences. Presently regarded as the most innovative and successful Shona sculptor, Dominic attends and opens all of his one-man exhibitions in the United States and Europe and now in Israel.
