Corrugations, holes and other irregularities are all part of what makes a sculpture by Boniface Chikwenhere so special. On this sculpture of a fish, only the flourish of a tail and the outline of a head are polished to reveal the rich colour of the common resin wood, while the rough central section provides a wonderful contrast.
Each one-of-a-kind sculpture is inspired by the character of the found wood, Boniface seeing his mission as completing nature's work and revealing the animal form that he sees emerging from the grain of the wood. Often the wood is left raw in part of the finished piece, the natural and polished surfaces making a harmonious whole.
Each sculpture is mounted on a stand and there is a choice of a wooden or metal base. All sculptures are fumigated and shipped with a fumigation certificate.
