'In The Box'
Located in Cape Town, ZA
Born and raised in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zemba Luzamba interrogates social and political power structures in Africa, transforming the everyday experiences of African migrants through his bold imagery. Bordering on satire, Luzamba subtly comments on a range of socio-political issues, appearing to mimic and question the colonial lifestyle of the post-colonial elites. A contemporary realist, his captivating paintings, produced over weeks of re-working and layering with oil, illustrate African figures engaged in various activities, from political ritual to dapper men engaged in moments of leisure. Zemba Luzamba, born 1973, currently lives and works in South Africa after having relocated to pursue his career as an artist. This experience has allowed him an intimate view of migrant communities, informing many of his works over the last 15 years. His work has been exhibited extensively in a range of solo and group shows such as 'When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting’ at Zeitz Mocaa, and can be found in international and local collections, namely the Irma Stern...
