Guruve promotes the very best in contemporary African art, finding talented young artists and bringing their work to a wider audience. Guruve specialises in contemporary stone sculpture from Zimbabwe, but we also promote artists from elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa who work in a wide range of media from oils to scrap metal. At Guruve, we believe in doing business the right way. We treat artists with the respect they deserve, building long-term relationships based on friendship and trust.
Guruve Exhibition 2008 will be held 20 - 22 June Great news! Award-winning Zimbabwean sculptor Onias Mupumha is joining us in the UK to be the Artist in Residence at our exhibition in June and at Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Flower Shows. If you'd like to meet him, especially if you are already the proud owner of one of his wonderful sculptures, please come along to one of these events or call us to arrange a private meeting. Following our hugely successful exhibition last year, we will be holding our 2008 exhibition on 20 to 22 June - at Hopleys Nursery in Much Hadham in Hertfordshire. In addition, we will be transforming the wonderful gardens at Hopley's into a sculpture garden for the weekend of 8 - 10 August, inviting other sculptors and artists to participate in what promises to be a fantastic event. Guruve's top artist Onias Mupumha wins first prize Winners of the 2008 NAMA (National Arts Merit Awards) were announced on 13 Feb by Zimbabwe's National Arts Council. Our most popular sculptor Onias Mupumha won the three-dimensional category in the visual arts. This is such a prestigious event, like winning the Turner Prize for a young British artist, and Onias is over the moon. Guruve has sent him a little bonus to congratulate him. We've known for many years how talented he is, but how nice to have national recognition from Zimbabwe's arts elite. The NAMA nominees also included Ishmael Chitiyo and, in the 2D category, Dumisani Ndlovu. Guruve support Zimbabwean Home for the Elderly

Our latest celebrity endorsement... "Guruve is a real find. I recently bought a fantastic sculpture by a famous Zimbabwean artist from them and it makes an eye-catching addition to my home. They
really know their stuff and supplied me with tons of information, including details of the work they do locally to support the artists. For original works of African art at cracking prices, I couldn't recommend Guruve more highly."
