Welcome to our online gallery, where art is more than just a decoration, it's a reflection of our deepest emotions and memories. "You and Me" is a breathtaking garden sculpture from Tawanda's collection of "Expressions of Dance". This modern abstract sculpture is more than just a beautiful garden ornament, it's a symbol of the love and support we share with those who stand by us through thick and thin.
Hand-carved from Lemon Opal stone, this sculpture is a true masterpiece, with patterns and colors that are impossible to replicate. The minerals within the stone create a unique translucency, giving the piece an ethereal quality that's simply mesmerizing. The rich green and white hues are achieved by leaving one side unpolished, allowing the sculpture to be viewed from both sides, each offering a different perspective and experience.
This sculpture is not just a work of art, it's a memory that will stay with you forever. It's a reminder of the times when you stood by someone, and they stood by you, through all the ups and downs of life. It's a testament to the strength of our relationships, and a celebration of the love that unites us all.
As one of our large garden statues, "You & Me" is sure to make a striking focal point in any outdoor space. Its beauty and sentiment will evoke memories and emotions that will last a lifetime, making it a cherished addition to any art collection.

While depictions in African stone sculptures may repeat, the patterns in the Lemon Opal Serpentine stone cannot be replicated, making each large garden statue unique. The artist carves the stone using a diamond tipped chisel. It is then sanded for hours through varying degrees of sandpaper until smooth. The sculpture is then heated and a polish is melted into the stone. Finally it is buffered to leave a wonderfully tactile surface, almost irresistible to touch.

Born in the Zimbabwean province of Midlands in the city of Kwekwe in 1979, Tawanda Makore was inspired from an early age by his uncle - the late Akence Makore - who was a renowned sculptor. He was further influenced by the cubic sculptures produced by Zotoh Sango.
He soon developed his own technique and style, and eventually joined various artist groups. In 2006 he joined a group of artists based in Harare, Zimbabwe's capital. He is one of the new generation of young artists whose work has become distinctive. He is being recognized as one of the major talents to emerge from Zimbabwe today. His work has evolved to become a unique style of three dimensional sculptures which he calls Vision Sculptures with a a pure, experimental touch. Well-known art collectors in Europe and the USA have exhibited Tawanda's work. "In my sculptures the elements of essence and appearance are always inseparably linked.
The essence being to depict and outward appearance of form. I sometimes abstract some details so as to draw the viewer to my purpose, thereby enabling the essence of my art to be easily absorbed. This is cognizant of taan abstract artist's way of thinking through the creation of an experimental approach to sculpture. I draw my inspiration from the every changing shape of my namesake, the clouds (Makore means cloud in Shona) whenever I look up into the sky."
