York's Shona Gallery presents "Swan" by Zimbabwean artist Kanse. This stunning piece is hand carved out of one piece of serpentine stone, a stone found in abundance in Zimbabwe. Serpentine stone is also lauded for its variation in colors, ranging from deep green to orange. If you take a look at “Swan” you will see that Kanse carved it specifically to juxtapose raw stone with polished stone, creating striking, unusual texture.
"Swan" is both suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, and does not tarnish nor deteriorate in rain or snow. This is the only piece of ours by this world renown artist. 

What is Shona?
The best of Zimbabwe stone sculpture combines the splendor and solidity of the stone medium with imagery drawn from reality and abstracted into symbolic form. Figures and features that are reminiscent of, yet not quite like, animal, and human forms suggest the creatures and mythological beings that inhabit the realms of the religions and folklore of the Zimbabwean people.

Heritage
York's Shona Gallery was the first gallery that brought Shona art to the United States.

Why Shona?
