Gueorgui Pinkhassov
Jackson HLUNGWANI, sculptor living in the Venda Region (north of South Africa). He is often identified as the greatest black artist in South Africa. Until two years ago, he lived on top of a hill, among the great stone circles that mark the site of an ancient citadel. God came to him and told him to live there, to make great carvings to His glory, and he laid out a sacred ground filled with giant monuments. At the center was a crucifix, 20 feet high. Hlungwani became famous all over Venda and Gazunkul for his preaching and his life in THE NEW JERUSALEM, and for his personal iconography, his strange four eyed faces, as eerie and intimidating as the heads on Easter Island, seem alive, as though he has let free something organic in the trees.
