South African Rural Sculpture

South Africa has a rich rural carving #tradition. During the 1980’s this mode of #artistic expression acquired new dimensions with the emergence of rural #artists who were self taught and unexposed to other influences. As a result of the isolating of black South Africans into rural community areas, the artists residing in these areas created work that was authentic and unconditioned.
