Magic Africa Exhibition

Heidi Lange

Magic Africa

April 24 - May 8

at Just Africa

UNESCO prize winner Heidi Lange is an artist who has succumbed to Africa's magic and now, in turn, enchants us with her artwork of an unspoilt Africa. Having lived in Kenya's beautiful Rift Valley for over 30 years, her romanticised and stylised work is inspired by a fascination with the African tribes and their cultural traditions.

This collection of silk screen prints shows Heidi's special affinity for the famous Masai, who roam the Serengeti plains; for the women of Kenya with their elaborate personal adornment, and for the bountiful animals and plants of the savannah.

Heidi is a UNESCO, UNEP, Festival due Mondi and Golden Minerva prize winner. She has Public Works at SIDA's headquarters in Stockholm, at the Seronera and Wildenstein's Lodges in Tanzania, and at Africana in Tokyo. She has exhibited world-wide, in places as diverse as Paris and Milan, to Cartagena, Colombia.
