James Tandi

James Tandi (1956-2020) started sculpting at 16 years old under the tutelage of his brother, Nicholas Tandi. From there to the spotlight of the whole world were just a few steps, hard work and an unimaginable talent easy to observe in his remarkable representations of Africa's beautiful people. Moving earrings (as both sculptures have) require careful skill in order to avoid breaking the stone. We had the honor to personally meet James Tandi in the summer of 2017 and to acquire Xhosa Girl directly from his workshop.
