Mother and Child
Nicolas Louw
Contemporary ArtLouw works in the Zimbabwean stone sculpture tradition, carving soapstone and verdite into abstracted human forms that merge mother and child into a single, unified mass. The polished surface catches light beautifully, revealing the stone's natural banding. His work draws on both African carving traditions and the international modernist sculpture of Brancusi and Hepworth.
