Jean Theiler Gallery, located at Buscheliweg 7 in Brienz, would like to showcase its collection of stone sculptures to a wider audience during four open house days. The approximately 280 large and small sculptures and paintings on display all originate from Zimbabwe. Stone carving has been practiced on a large scale in that country since the 1960s. Due to a mining boycott against the apartheid policies of then-Prime Minister Ian Smith, talented woodcarvers and other artists learned to artistically craft the stones found in the mine tailings. This has been a great success, as many of the works are now internationally known, popular, and highly sought after. They have been and continue to be featured in many famous museums and exhibitions on every continent. Sculpture in Zimbabwe, known as Shona art, has become a tradition that remains vibrant to this day, sustained by many renowned and talented artists. At the “ Jean Theiler Gallery ”—where the gallery offers a delightful aperitif—visitors can explore a broad cross-section of these works and directly compare their astonishingly diverse styles. The immense variety of rock types in Zimbabwe provides the foundation for the artists’ creative expression. Their works testify to profound creativity and a wide diversity of styles.
