McEwan, an Englishman, established a school in 1956, transitioning students from painting to stone carving in 1965. The sculptures, crafted from stones like serpentine and soapstone using simple hand tools, showcase a unique blend of traditional African styles and modernist influences. Typically depicting human figures or animals with smooth, flowing lines and abstract forms, the creation process varies from a few hours to several weeks. The roots of Shona sculpture trace back to the 1950s when artists experimented with new styles influenced by both traditional African art and modernist movements.
