The Naif artist is by definition a self-taught person, a person who\u003cbr\u003e\n He didn't attend academies but found inspiration within himself.\u003cbr\u003e\n a stylistic plan this translates into a figurative painting that gives\u003cbr\u003e\n a simplified interpretation of reality, with infantile and\u003cbr\u003e\n unconsciously primitivists. However, even the naive artist, in his\u003cbr\u003e\n spontaneity, has its own awareness that leads it to elaborate a\u003cbr\u003e\n well-defined aesthetic language, differentiating it from amateurism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e The style of the artist George Lilanga can be defined as naive especially for the\u003cbr\u003e\n fact that cannot be classified in any stylistic current. Its\u003cbr\u003e\n version of reality, simplified and imaginatively modified, plays with\u003cbr\u003e\n the images, creating a fun and creative composition. To this end\u003cbr\u003e\n The artist takes all the necessary liberties. He deforms the subjects by stretching them,\u003cbr\u003e\n overturns the concept of space, plays with the rules by compressing the\u003cbr\u003e \ncomposition. The stereotypical image then becomes a fundamental element\u003cbr\u003e\n within the economy of the composition in an inspiration that finds,\u003cbr\u003e\n of course, its roots in African tribal culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e George Lilanga (Kikwetu, 1934 – Dar es Salaam, 2005). Trained at\u003cbr\u003e\n Tingatinga painting school in Dar es Salaam, is also known at international level\u003cbr\u003e\n international for his peculiar pictorial style, characterized by figures with\u003cbr\u003e\n bright colors and sharp contours, highly dynamic, and caricatural. Numerous\u003cbr\u003e\n there were exhibitions of his works in many countries and he was recognized\u003cbr\u003e\n as one of Africa's greatest artists, probably the greatest artist\u003cbr\u003e\n contemporary African. In these years his works take on dimensions\u003cbr\u003e\n ever greater. Always in this period it began again after many years to\u003cbr\u003e\n to dedicate himself intensely to sculpture, creating many works in\u003cbr\u003e\n softwood (usually mninga or mkongo) brightly colored with enamels\u003cbr\u003e\n in oil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rizzo Ezio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218350354818,"sku":"ERIZ005","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/USIKASIRIKE-NAKUTANIA.jpg?v=1768472959","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/george-lilanga-usikasirike-nakutania","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
