JAMES
TANDI ZIMBABWE (1958 - )
Tandi, James was born in the Bindura District of Zimbabwe in
1956. Under the tutelage of his older brother, renowned sculptor Nicholas
Tandi, James quickly showed a talent for sculpting and began working in a
variety of mediums but it was his mastery of the semi-precious stone verdite
that propelled him to the international spotlight.
He works in the classical manner using hammer and chisel to
capture the native African people and Indigenous wildlife of southern Africa.
Tandi has participated in international one-man and group shows and his work is
found in various museums.
