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. We will be in touch regarding the best options for you. Virtual hanging of art is an innovative service we offer that allows art enthusiasts and collectors to visualize how artworks will appear in their desired spaces before making a purchase. We digitally place the selected artworks on your walls, in the correct scale to achieve the desired aesthetic. This service not only helps in making informed decisions but also enhances the overall art-buying experience, providing a realistic preview of the final result and ensuring that the chosen artworks harmonize with the surrounding decor. Please contact us to make use of this service!

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.

Prudence Chimutuwah
Prudence Chimutuwah
Prudence Chimutuwah was born on 22 May 1989 and lives and works from her private studio in Harare, Zimbabwe. She studied at the National Gallery Visual Arts School from 2009 to 2011, where she majored in painting and sculpture.
Although initially drawn to stone sculpture, she found the field to be predominantly male-dominated in Zimbabwe, which discouraged her from pursuing it further for a time. However, in 2015, she discovered a passion for collage, leading her to collect materials for recycling and experimentation to produce her work.
Chimutuwah’s work explores the emergence of the 21st-century woman as she steps into spaces traditionally dominated by men. She draws inspiration from the everyday lives of women—their economic aspirations, spiritual journeys, need for recognition, and their relentless energy.
Prudence Chimutuwah believes that women are the incubators of society—what they hold within, when nurtured, grows exponentially. This idea fuels her deep connection to women as a creative force.
Through her art, she seeks to channel authentic energy into women of her generation and beyond, narrating and depicting the evolving roles of women within patriarchal societies.
Chimutuwah’s artistic technique blends figurative painting, paper collage, and printmaking, primarily using stencils on canvas. Her figures are rendered in shades of blue, a color she considers personal and neutral, transcending racial boundaries. She aims to portray a universal woman, one beyond the limits of space, race, or creed.
Her work is subtly influenced by contemporary African fashion, texts, and symbols. Chimutuwah incorporates decommissioned Zimbabwean banknotes, old novels, magazines, and newspapers—materials that carry a profound sense of history and memory.
By integrating these elements, alongside African textiles, she creates art that evokes both nostalgia and authenticity.
Prudence Chimutuwah is represented by The Artists Gallery in Cape Town.
