Titre de la vente : signed ‘Lilanga' (lower left) oil on board 49 x 60cm US$ 1,020-1,480 Sold Ksh 305,240 Lilanga's works were inspired by the spirit world of the Makonde tribe in southern Tanzania. He began training as a sculptor in 1961, making wood carvings in the traditional Makonde style. In 1970 he moved to Dar es Salaam where he encountered the Tingatinga school which had a profound effect on his work. In 1978 he made his first trip to New York and the following year participated in a group exhibition of African artists in Washington. Infamous graffiti artist Keith Haring saw his paintings there and later acknowledged that this encounter had had a significant influence on his own work. Today Lilanga is one of the region's most celebrated artists and features in many important private and institutional collections of African art.
