Contents

The son of Nicholas Mukomberanwa, Lawrence (sometimes spelled Laurence) worked with his father from his early childhood days. He continued sculpting whilst training to be a commercial pilot. [1] He worked in the field for some years before turning to sculpture full-time. His works have been featured in a number of European exhibitions.

Career

He started out his career as an airplane pilot but then quit to engage in the family craft. [1] Lawrence Mukomberanwa, the son to sculptor Nicholas, says he has no regrets after he recently quit his professional job as a pilot to follow in the footsteps of his dad. Laurence's subject matter deals with contrasts and opposites. He is concerned with the disparity of power between poverty and wealth. [2]
