Hendrick Lilanga

Hendrick Lilanga was born in 1974 in Tanzania es Salaam. He lived and learned from his grandfather. Henrick Lilanga is the grandson of the late Makonde Tanzanian artist George Lilanga. 

He learned from his grandfather and works in a style derived from him, depicting a world of mischievous mashetani (devils). Like his grandfather's work, it is not truly of the tingatinga style, but spans the worlds of both the tingating artists and the Makonde woodcarvers of their roots.

His long stays in Japan and South Korea influenced his artwork. Hendrick has exhibited internationally at a very young age, including South Korea, Japan and Uganda.
