LEVENDE STEN - Skolerne i Boserup

Friends Forever
Fanizani Akuda
1836
Fanizani, som blev født i Zambia, er kendt for sine smilende ansigter,
fløjtende mænd og glade familier. Hans personer er venlige og
fulde af humør, altid smilende og med mystisk sammenknebne øjne
(Fanizani siger det stammer fra hans egen uro over at få splinter i øjnene,
når han hugger i stenene).
Fanizanis kunstværker kan kendes på deres runde former. Han har
udstillet over hele verden, i lande som Tyskland, Danmark, Holland,
USA, Sverige, Cuba, Australien, Sydafrika, Malawi, Spanien og Østrig.
I Maj 2005 holdt The National Gallery of Zimbabwe en æresudstilling
for ham - “Fanizani – en Legende i Sten”.
Fanizani Akuda, who was born in Zambia, is noted for his smiling
faces, whistling men and happy families. His characters are
tender and humorous, constantly smiling, with mysteriously slit eyes
(Fanizani says it comes from the fact that he was himself afraid of
getting splinters from the stones into his eyes). Fanizani’s pieces are
distinguished by their arrangements of round shapes. His work has
been exhibited worldwide, in countries such as Germany, Denmark,
Holland, the United States, Sweden, Cuba, Australia, South Africa,
Malawi, Russia, Finland, Spain and Austria. In May 2005 The National
Gallery of Zimbabwe held a retrospective Fanizani exhibition in his
honour – “Fanizani – a Legend in Stone.”
