The plaque reads:

"Many years ago I came to the city. Now, when I listen to the mbira playing, it takes me back to my remote rural village - back to my culture - back to my roots."

"Jonathan Gutsa
Born in 1961 in Murewa

Jonathan Gutsa learned to sculpt under the tutelage of this renowned brother, Tapfuma Gutsa and seems to have inherited his ability to create deeply expressive sculpture.

He spent two years at the Chapungu Resident Artist Program, and created some outstanding works during that time.

During recent years, his works mainly of heads or couples, have been characterized by great sensitivity, capturing moods and feelings, often trance like, and imbued with longing, sadness, or contemplation. Because his works are quieter, he is sometimes overlooked. Jonathan Gutsa is a mature and extremely perceptive artist." (from (visit link) )
