Artists:BackSquare Chikwanda Born in 1972 in Mvurwi, Zimbabwe
When Square was seven he moved to Tengenenge with his father. Square finished primary school and quickly learnt to sculpt and become a full-time sculptor when he was 13 years old. In 1993, he left Tengenenge to continue sculpting in Harare and has worked at the Chapungu Sculpture Park since then. From the moment Square started sculpting you could see he had a completely individual style.
