Gueorgui Pinkhassov
SOUTH AFRICA. Cape Town. South African artist Beezy BAILEY. Bailey's hyper expressive loosely conceptual, pink and orange and green work had some measure of success but never entered into the top echelon of South African art debate. In 1991, he submitted work to the prestigious Cape Town Triennal. One piece sent in as the work of Beezy Bailey, and three others he submitted as the work of Joyce Ntobe, a domestic worker. No one paid much attention to the Bailey work, but Ntobe was at once discovered and her work was purchased by the South African National Gallery. It is the view of Bailey and other anti liberal artists that the habit of buying black work because it is black, does more in the longrun to erode than to increase black self esteem. The white liberal community was outraged at Bailey's ploy, but many black artists applauded his courage. A White conceptual artist Beezy BAILEY, a member of one of South Africa's welathiest families in blue paint and a headdress in the backyard of his Cape Town home.
