Dettagli
Provenienza : Provenance Acquired from Real Art Gallery, Tanzania, in 2008. George Lilanga's work is steeped in the Makonde cosmology of the 'Shetani' or spirits whilst almost exclusively dealing with the every day trials, tribulations and comedies of East African life. These works that are specifically inspired by the 1990-91 Gulf War are unique in referencing a major global event which was of intense interest to East Africa's Muslim population.
