Lovemore Kambudzi’s paintings at the exhibition are a depiction of the political system in Zimbabwe as well as the everyday life of Zimbabweans. His spotted figures with their caricatured faces are the typical picture of the times.

His work can be admired in several international galleries such as two displayed at the Czech National gallery in Prague.

David Chinyama’s work is in direct contrast to his previous work. His new work is calm, relaxing, showing of the non-conflict style, his interest about nature and family life – all elements that led to his fame and the interest of art lovers both in the U.S.A. and Western Europe.

Voti Thebe does not deny his inspiration from the fighting traditions of the Zulu, which in fact form part of his own background what with his being very close to the traditions and habits of this tribe. Voti’s expressive triptych canvases are on show at the exhibition.

The clear representative of the local symbolism is Batsirai Muskwe, the last of the five African artists. He plays with the symbols, colors and composition and then reflects it in his masterpieces.

This exhibition is held with the support of Mr. Hynek Kmolicek, Foreign Affairs Vice-Minister of the Czech Republic, and will be open till 11th September 2010.
