George Lilanga Biography

(Kikwetu, 1934 – Dar es Salaam, 27 June 2005). Trained at the tingatinga school of painting in Dar es Salaam, he is also known internationally for his peculiar pictorial style, characterized by figures with bright colors and sharp outlines, highly dynamic , and caricatures. There were numerous exhibitions of his works in many countries and he was recognized as one of Africa's greatest artists, probably the greatest contemporary African artist. In recent years his works have become increasingly larger in size (the oils on canvas of approximately one square meter in surface area, the first large canvases of more than 200 centimeters in length and the masonite/hardboards of 61 x 122 centimeters are from this period). Also in this period, after many years, he began to dedicate himself intensely to sculpture again, creating many works in soft wood (usually mninga or mkongo) brightly colored with oil enamels.
