William James Sebastian "Beezy" Bailey (born 21 July 1962) is a South African artist who works in various media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking and ceramics.
Bailey has worked with musicians, including David Bowie,[3] Brian Eno, Dave Matthews and Arno Carstens, and with photographer Zwelethu Mthethwa.
Frustrated with "increasingly prevalent affirmative action", in 1991 Bailey submitted two artworks to an exhibition.
[5] One was with the traditional Beezy Bailey signature (rejected), the other signed Joyce Ntobe.
When the curator of the Gallery was writing a paper about three black women artists, Joyce Ntobe being one, Bailey revealed the truth.
