Sculpture information

Lucky was born in 1976 in the Hurungwe District.
He began sculpturing at the tender age of 19, after being given the opportunity to work with Moses Masaya. He worked with Moses for two years. Since 1997 he has lived and worked on his own.
Lucky’s sculpture, like those of Moses, characterises and follows the shape of the stone. Human and animal forms are frequently sculptured and refer to Shona tribal culture beliefs. These beliefs are a source of his inspiration.
Family tragedies have profoundly influenced much of Richie’s work, which often has themes that relate to human relationships, personal feelings and emotions. These sculptures are the artistic responses to deeply felt emotions by the artist. By means of his sculpture, Ritchie has discovered an eloquent and lasting means of self-expression. Feelings of sadness and insecurity often are present in his work. Evidence to this is not only found in the sculptural forms he creates, but also in the titles he gives them.
Office’s sculpture have been exhibited at the International Exhibition in Matombo Gallery, USA, Britain, Holland, Belgium and Germany.
