Alex Sibanda

20th Century 

Alex Sibanda moved to South Africa in 2004 to escape the strife in Zimbabwe. His fellow countryman, Lovemore Sithole, invited him to visit Ardmore and he joined the team of sculptors in 2010 when South Africa hosted the Soccer World Cup. Sibanda created the African Traveller series of African animals ridden by figures holding an umbrella. These riders evolved into Hippo, Elephant and Rhino riders inspired by the wood carvings sold to tourists in Zimbabwe near the Beit Bridge border post. In 2012, the artist’s rider series expanded into large-scale sculptures and was used to raise awareness and funds for endangered species. Sibanda represented South Africa at the Moscow Trade Show in 2013, and his first Hippo riders, decorated by Jabu Nene, can be found in the collection of the Museum of Cultures in Basel, Switzerland.
