Feeling the Movement by Victor Matafi, White Dolomite, Unique, 240cm High, 100cm Wide, 85cm Depth
Feeling the Movement by Victor Matafi is a monumental Shona stone sculpture that explores movement, balance and fluidity through a powerful abstract form. Carved from white Dolomite and standing an impressive 240 cm high, 100 cm wide and 85 cm deep, this unique sculpture commands attention through both its substantial scale and sweeping sense of motion.
Matafi creates an organic form that twists, curves and loops around itself, guiding the eye continuously through the composition. Rather than presenting a fixed viewpoint, the sculpture encourages movement around it. Consequently, each angle reveals a different relationship between its flowing contours, open spaces and solid stone surfaces.
Moreover, the looping structure creates a compelling contrast between weight and apparent lightness. Although Dolomite possesses a strong physical presence, Matafi’s sweeping lines give the sculpture an unexpected sense of energy and freedom. Open areas within the composition allow light and the surrounding environment to become part of the work, while changing shadows further emphasise its sculptural depth.
Meanwhile, the pale white Dolomite stone enhances the purity of the abstract form and draws attention to its curves, transitions and carefully considered proportions. The natural qualities of the stone also provide subtle variations that reinforce the individuality of this unique piece.
Ultimately, Feeling the Movement transforms solid stone into an expressive study of rhythm and continuous motion. As a unique monumental sculpture by Victor Matafi, it makes an exceptional focal point for a sculpture garden, landscaped setting, architectural space or significant collection of contemporary African and Shona stone sculpture.
