| RICHARD
MTEKI
Richard is one of our elder experienced artists. He was born in
1947 in Harare.
Richard comes from a family of sculptors, with his late brother
also being a sculptor, and his daughters and sons following in his
footsteps.
Richards’s inspiration and teacher was his late brother who
took him under his wing at the age of seventeen.
Richard’s favourite subjects are human heads, figures and
animals, with a special interest in Storks, Owls and Rhinos. Richard
gets his inspiration from his surroundings and likes to try and
reflect his inspirations in his works.
Richard prefers to sculptor in Black Serpentine which is mined
in Guruve, outside of Harare.
Richard has exhibited in London, Germany, America and Asia. His
work is shown in many of the galleries in Zimbabwe.
Richard, like Samuel Masakwa, is spending a lot of his time encouraging
and promoting young sculptors.
