INTRODUCTION

Z E E L A A R T G A L L E R Y C ATA L O G U E

Welcome to Zeela, the home of Nature, Culture and Art.

Art comes in various forms and shapes. The forms and shapes have inspired our way of life since time immemorial. Through the artists' imagination,

creativity and innovation, art has evoked our emotions, changed our perceptions and influenced our actions.

Zeela Art Gallery presents a sizeable collection of art, created and nurtured by artists in Zambia. The art pieces are manifest of our Zambian way of life, traversing the vast landscapes of our motherland.

Zeela Art Gallery reveals to us the enchanting and colourful sceneries of paintings, the flamboyant and “living stones” of stone sculptures, and indeed the accentuated and energetic wooden sculptures.

The PassionThe Zeela art collection spans a period of nearly 15 years when, in 2003, we collected our first art piece – a wooden sculpture created by the renowned artist Eddie Mumba. Since then, our passion for collecting pieces of art has continued to grow. Today, Zeela Art Gallery is home to over 140 pieces of art in the categories of paintings, wooden sculptures and stone sculptures created by various artists in Zambia.

Driven by our passion for art, we decided to make our collection available for other people to view in the form of a private art gallery.

We are greatly inspired by the creativity and ingenuity of our artists. We embrace and share in their endeavour to contribute to the preservation of our heritage and to the promotion of tourism in our country through arts and culture.

Through this passion, we aim to contribute to the development and promotion of the artists, and to the sector of Tourism, Arts and Culture in Zambia through:

· Provision of artist-in-residence opportunities at Zeela Homestay

· Creation of a forum for art exhibitions

· Documentation and preservation of the artworks by artists in Zambia

The LegacyArt is a lived and celebrated lifestyle. It is an expression of our thoughts, emotions and desires and is therefore a powerful medium for imparting and communicating values. Through the minds that create, the hands that mould and the eyes that see, the Zeela legacy aims to take art to greater heights.
