Fanizani Akuda (1932-2011)
Title : Year : Stone :
Pregnand Women 2008
Amongst Fanizani’s work the title ‘pregnant girl’ is as famous as the ‘whistling head.’ This sculpture titled Pregnant Girl is of immense interest for both collectors and art fanatics because it has both elements – whistling and pregnancy. This seems to be a rare sculpture because most pregnant girls were mostly depicted put on a smiling face.
Of interest as well is the size and type of stone. Cobalt remains a rare stone used by many artists today. By its nature it requires a lot of patience because of its quarts-like parts and its tendency to easily peel off because of its heavily layered structure. It is a very colourful stone which produces purplish and greenish colours when polished and has flowing elements that look like a rainbow.
The series of ‘pregnant girls’ won Fanizani different awards from the National Gallery of Zimbabwe and internationally. This sculpture is one of the 3 sculptures that Fanizani made in 2010 before his death in February of 2011.
In the late 1970s, Fanizani decided to move to the city, to escape the disruption of the war of independence. He continued sculpting right up until his death when he was nearly eighty and was a much-loved character within the Harare art community. His work has been exhibited worldwide for decades and is in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Zimbabwe as well as many private collections. Career highlights include:
