Guruve’s sister gallery, the Shona Sculpture Gallery, finally opened its gates to the public in March 2016 after three years of preparation. With a delightful sculpture garden and a Spanish-style verandah for smaller works, we are already getting great reviews on TripAdvisor. A much-needed positive development for the art movement and artists on the ground in Zimbabwe!

SSG is located at 20 Airport Road so it’s easy to find if you’re ever passing through Harare, Zimbabwe, and we look forward to welcoming you!

Royal Katiyo

Sculptor

Royal is particularly well-known for his charming chubby sculptures of quails, finished using a clever technique (almost like pointillism) to give the impression of the birds’ feathers. He has represented the prestigious Chapungu Sculpture Gallery at various of their international exhibitions and workshops.
