Biography: Square Chikwanda was born in 1972 in Guruve, Zimbabwe.
When he was 7 he moved with his family to tengenenge Sculpture Community.
His father, already a sculptor at Tengenenge, allowed Square to
assist him with sanding and polishing. At the age of 13 square started
sculpting on his own, and with time he began to develop his own
style. In 1995 Square left tengenenge to work at Chapungu Sculpture
Park in Harare, and it was here Square started to hone his artistic
skills. His work has immense power, yet his figures retain a tenderness
apparent in their refined facial features. Square now works on his
own in Harare and his work has been exhibited worldwide.
