    Within South Africa we courier your artwork to your door - the shipping cost will show at the checkout.

    When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight.
    On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
    Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.

    We will be in touch regarding the best options for you.

    Robin Kutinyu

    Robin Kutinyu

    Robin Kutinyu reminds us—like a refreshing jolt to the
    senses—that the world around us is a fertile and sacred space. He fills that space with forms that reconnect us to the raw essence of our humanity, so often numbed by the frigid austerity of our tech-driven world. Through his art, Robin Kutinyu’s eyes and hands become the voices of his soul, layered deeply with harmonies of compassion, generosity, and a pure sense of purpose.

    His work evokes the truth that we are carved from spirit, bound to the divinity and sentience of the natural world.

    Robin Kutinyu’s talent was born from a passion for wildlife that took root as early as the age of five. His deep understanding of form and beauty was nurtured by curiosity and a profound admiration for his father— a sculptor whose hands animated stone into vigorously lifelike wildlife figures. Born in Zimbabwe, Kutinyu sold his first collection of birds and turtles at the tender age of ten. Since then, he has been completely absorbed by the movement and anatomy of both animals and the human form, bringing them vividly to life in his sculptures.

    Using only natural materials, Robin Kutinyu channels the raw spirit of nature, awakening the elemental structure of each medium he touches to reveal the soul of his subjects. Whether animal or human, each sculpture is imbued with a quiet, powerful presence.

    “I try to capture the essence of my subject by capturing a certain moment of what is happening,” he explains. “My work is about the soul of my subject, not just the outer form worked to perfection. I have made my way from understanding my material and the possibilities it gives me, to shaping the intangible—an idea, an image, or a concept.”

    Working in the silence of the desert is, for Kutinyu, a kind of retreat. It is there that many sculptures begin to take shape, emerging from stone with their first whispers of expression. For him, moving stones that weigh several tons is not a burden, but a refreshing and invigorating exercise. The transformation from raw material to finished piece keeps him excited and engaged throughout the creative process.

    Robin Kutinyu has worked with a wide range of media, including alabaster, zebrastone, wonderstone, and semi-precious stones from Zimbabwe, as well as wood, wax, metal, cement, bronze, granite, marble, picturestone, sandstone, and jasper sourced from South Africa, Italy, Namibia, and Madagascar.

    While he has explored many materials, his recent work has focused predominantly on bronze, which he values for its strength, durability, and the creative freedom it offers. With bronze, he is able to craft delicate and expressive compositions that endure.

    Robin Kutinyu’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the National Zoo & Aquarium in Canberra, Australia, Safari Club International in Reno, and Afridesia Gallery in New Jersey, USA.

    Currently, Robin Kutinyu is showcasing a wide selection of his work at The Artists Gallery in Cape Town.
