Zimbabwe Artists
Zimbabwe boasts a wide range of talented visual artists, with some based in
different countries. Zimbabwe art, like most of the planet has evolved from cave
and rock paintings centuries ago, to various visual art forms, and contemporary African
art.
Zimbabwe Artists from Victoria Falls
A few of Zimbabwe artists are right here in the city of
Victoria Falls, and
their influence from the surrounding environment (e.g., rural villages, national
parks, the Zambezi River) means that they have much to offer and contribute to
Zimbabwean art. Some of their work can be found
in some of the hotels and lodges in the city. Below are a few artists, largely
based in Victoria Falls. We will
be expand the list to give you an idea of the talent that can be found here.
