Part of a diptyque called Family Group I and II by the South African sculptor Lucky Madlo Sibiya (1942-1999) created in 1987. The work is a typical carving on a found piece of wood showing various religious actions in and around the home. The work was also called “Chaplain of the Chapel”. Short Biography: Lucky Madlo Sibiya was born in 1942 in Vryheid in KwaZulu Natal. He moved to Sophiatown in 1952 but was moved to Soweto by the Apartheids Government after the Natives Resettlement Act of 1954. After completing his schooling in Hammanskraal he met fellow artist Dumile Feni and later Cecil Skotnes who gave Sibiya art guidance. He held his first solo exhibition at Gallery 101 in the early 1970s and soon became one of Johannesburg’s most celebrated sculptors. In 1999, the Everard Read Gallery planned a very extensive exhibition of Sibiya’s work but shortly before the opening of the exhibition Sibiya was tragically killed in a car accident on 24 January 1999. Sibiya remains internationally renowned for his abstract works and sculptures
