HORIZON GALLERY
Mara Sculpture is collaborating with Horizon Gallery in a major exhibition of Zimbabwean sculpture. Horizon is one of Henley's foremost art galleries and is currently showing thirty new pieces from our recent collection. If you are visiting Henley or know people in the area, tell them to drop in and have a look at the exhibition.
NEW WORK & AUTUMN EXHIBITIONS
We are delighted to announce that our shipment of new work from Zimbabwe has arrived and we have a series of exhibitions planned for the Autumn. We begin in the gorgeous provincial town of Seillans in the South of France, from the 1st to the 12th of September. Later in the year, we'll be in Fulham and Notting Hill; details to follow soon.
We are very proud to have a collection of new work by Luke Saidi. 31 year old Saidi has been sculpting at the world-renowned Chapungu Sculpture Park for the past 17 years. He was apprenticed to his uncle, the legendary Sabiti Saidi. Saidi's work has a distinct and troubling feel. He is fascinated by the human condition and the constant struggles fought on the emotional battlegrounds of life.

EXHIBITION - DECEMBER 2009
Mara held its first exhibition at the Jeannie Avent Gallery, East Dulwich. It was a great success and we want to thank everyone who came along and supported us. It's wonderful to know that there is such interest and enthusiasm for Zimbabwean sculpture. Bernie will be going to Zimbabwe early next year to replenish the gallery. Do let us know if there is anything you want us to keep an eye out for.
SCULPTURES FINALLY ARRIVE - AUGUST 2009
In spring, Bernie spent six weeks in Zimbabwe meeting the artists and buying new stock. After a long battle with Zimbabwean customs, permission to export was granted and the sculptures 
were packed up and sent by train to Durban. They sat around the docks for a while until they boarded a boat and finally arrived in the UK.... much to Bernie's delight.
Once in the UK,the sculptures were checked for damage, polished and prepped for a photo shoot.
