Jackson Hlungwani , 'Self Portrait – Drum'
Est: R50,000 - R70,000
Silver Cluster Leaf wood and cowhide (110 x 44 x 40 cm) Qty: (1) Provenance: Private Collection, Spain. Johans Borman Fine Art, Cape Town. Dr. Marais, Limpopo Province. Gallery 181, Johannesburg. ABOUT THE ARTWORK Following a transformative spiritual encounter in 1978, Jackson Hlungwani's creative work became increasingly complex and prolific. Self-taught, he developed a unique artistic genre closely tied to his spiritual beliefs and practices, merging Tsonga-Shangaan wood carving traditions with popular culture, and weaving together biblical narratives with African spirituality. In this sculptural self-portrait, he transforms himself into a drum, specifically resembling a traditional African Djembe. The Djembe, historically used in healing ceremonies, rites of passage, and spiritual rituals, holds deep cultural significance. Hlungwani's sculpture, carved from a single log of wood, features a smooth, unified surface, and its simplified proportions are shaped by the natural form of the wood. The figure reflects his physical traits and embodies his values and life purpose. The facial features in the sculpture are stylistically similar to those seen in older examples of Tsonga and Shangaan sculptural forms. The eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, are carved with deliberate incisions that convey a serene, contemplative expression. The long beard is detailed with rhythmic vertical lines, and the large, round ears add to the sculpture’s expressive quality. The arms, resting on the belly, are transformed into serpents with stylised scales which is indicative of Hlungwani’s symbolic approach. Jackson Hlungwani with Self Portrait - Drum. In African traditions, drums symbolize communication with ancestors and the spirit world. By depicting himself as a drum, Hlungwani suggests his role as a spiritual messenger, conveying both his Christian and African beliefs. The presence of serpents in the sculpture highlights the duality in his work, representing both biblical and ancestral symbolism. Self Portrait - Drum in situ in Alt and Omega: Jackson Hlungwani at Norval Foundation in 2020. COLLECTIONS: The artist is represented in numerous local collections, notably, the Irma Stern Museum, Cape Town; Johannesburg Art Gallery; Javett Art Centre, Pretoria; Iziko SA National Gallery, Cape Town; University of Cape Town; University of South Africa, Pretoria and University of the Witwatersrand. The overall condition is excellent.
