Lilanga

Le Carre Hermes > Printemps - Ete 2010  (translated from French)

" I would like to live in the village of George Lilanga," remarked a little boy when he discovered the artist's paintings.

"They dance. They are playing. They wear masks.

Are they magicians?"

The great African painter said " I paint when I'm happy, and I tell the daily line."

He transposed on his paintings the tales of the Makonde of Mozambique.

Hermes fell in love with George Lilanga's work, and chose to make it the guest artist of this collection.
