Showing My New Dress by Lovemore Bonjisi, Cobalt Stone, Unique, 115cm high by 80cm wide by 34cm deep, Body, Female, Figurative, People, Women sculpture, Hair, Green, Blue
This piece by Lovemore Bonjisi is a unique Shona sculpture carved from rich cobalt stone. The figure is a woman, confidently posing in a flowing dress. Her hair sweeps back with the motion, creating a sense of energy and elegance.
The sculpture has a flattened, almost relief-like form. Yet, it still captures motion and personality. The woman’s stance is proud, head lifted, body slightly arched. Her arms and dress curve outward, as if caught mid-spin. This adds rhythm and life to the otherwise still figure.
Bonjisi skillfully contrasts textures. Smooth, polished surfaces reflect light and draw focus to the dress and hair. Meanwhile, subtle grooves and lines give structure and flow. The deep tones of cobalt stone enhance the sculpture’s richness, while the simplicity of the form keeps it grounded.
Moreover, the piece speaks of joy and self expression. The woman isn’t just standing, she’s showing off. Her new dress becomes a symbol of pride and transformation. The sculpture invites viewers to share in that moment, to feel her delight.
In essence, Showing My New Dress blends tradition with movement. Bonjisi captures a fleeting gesture and makes it timeless. The result is a bold, elegant celebration of confidence, identity, and feminine grace.
