At the age of 10, Dominic Benhura began to assist his cousin, the sculptor Tapfuma Gutsa. Soon after, he started to create his own works. Many formative years were spent at Chapungu Sculpture Park. Today, he is regarded as the creator of some of the most cutting-edge Zimbabwean sculpture, with one-man exhibitions in Zimbabwe, Australia, Belgium,Holland, Germany and America. His subject matter is extensive, including plants, trees, animals and the whole gamut of human experience. Benhura has an exceptional ability to portray human feeling through form rather than facial expression. He continues to lead by experimentation and innovation and has created many memorable works.
