Born in Rusape, East of Harare in 1959
Gregory Mutasa studied art as a child, learning to carve soapstone and wood at Kekana Art and Craft School in Rusape. In 1977, he was awarded a fine art diploma and was hired as a furniture designer in Chiredezi.  Preferring to create his own art, he applied for a job in Harare at African Art Promotions in 1979 as a carver.
Mutasa?s older brother Joe, a respected Zimbabwean artist has been a tremendous influence on his sculptural development. Under his guidance, Gregory?s work has flourished.  His work has been exhibited at Expo 2000, Hannover, Germany; Kirstenbosch Gardens, Cape Town, South Africa as well as Kew Gardens, London, England.
Gregory Mutasa is an accomplished sculptor who dwells with success on the aesthetics and formal qualities of the stone to create sculptures of women, with a knowing understanding of their bodies and the grace of their movements, their private moments and their delight in their own flesh. He is able to take a stone, a piece of marble or dolomite and fashion it so that it takes on the smoothness of a woman's skin, the pink glow of her skin, her flesh as she comes from the bath, steamy and clean.
He has made a series of sculptures, interiors so to speak of women emerging from the bath, having washed their hair which flows heavily and sodden down their backs. These are sensuous and provocative sculptures, more like the female nude as it has been represented in various periods of painting. They are sculptures which cause a man to catch his breath and wonder afresh about female beauty in its natural state. In all his work he captures the elegance of woman by way of her body, her natural form, and if his women are clothed, that form remains somehow apparent. Beautiful stones make beautiful women, beautiful stones into beautiful woman.

Gregory Mutasa is fast being recognized in Zimbabwe and abroad as a sculptor within the figurative tradition of sculpture which has not historical or cultural boundaries. Preoccupation with the human form, and the female form was an aspect of sculpture in Ancient Greece, in Classical Italy, in Art Deco, and all its revivals and renewals. His work is not generally associated with his tradition of stone sculpture in Zimbabwe but with figurative sculpture and nude studies as they appear in both painting and sculpture. His constituency outside of Zimbabwe is large and appreciative. If his women are clothed they invite us to look underneath, to observe the beauty of the body which wears the clothes, the proportion, the anatomical certainty of the sculptor. Satin smooth stones, smooth falls of hair cascading to the ground, the sweet smells of the bathroom, these are the things we find in the sculptures of Gregory Mutasa one of the most accomplished and supremely elegant sculptors working in stone in Zimbabwe today.
