Sculptor Information
Brian Chapenga was born in 1968 in Guruve (Northern Zimbabwe). He was one of seven brothers. Brian was inspired by his brothers growing homestead which is situated at the foot of a hill rich in fruit serpentine, the Chiparambembwe Hill. It was easy for him to experiment and develop his artistic career with a source of stone to work with.
Using tools of his brothers and taking advantage of an abundance of raw stones, he set his heart on sculpting.
By 1997as a young boy, he saw some of his works being collected by art dealers who used to tour the Guruve area, going deeper into the villages to find other artists works. He then joined Sanganai Art Group as a measure of broadening his market scope and then moved to Harare where he joined friends from his rural home and eventually partnered with his brother Stewart, creating their own displays. Brian’s sculpture practice continues to bloom and evolve -specializing in abstract flowers and figurative abstracts.
To date his works have been collected by numerous collectors from around the world.
