Zemba Luzamba – BOOOOOOOM! – CREATE * INSPIRE * COMMUNITY * ART * DESIGN * MUSIC * FILM * PHOTO * PROJECTS

A choice of work by Congolese painter Zemba Luzamba. Contending with the up to date African social and political landscapes, his colourful work emphasize the colonial existence of post-colonial elites, strolling the road between satire and realism and prompting viewers to ask themselves: “Is that this pure commentary, aspiration, or critique?”

Born within the Democratic Republic of Congo, Luzamba later moved to South Africa to pursue his profession as an artist — an expertise which has allowed him an intimate and sympathetic view of migrant communities and knowledgeable a lot of his works during the last 15 years. His work interrogate and satirize social and political energy buildings in a approach that feels concurrently particular and common. He paints his topics in daring fields of coloration, deliberately disassociating them from concrete areas or occasions, and giving his viewers the liberty to interpret these scenes with relevance to their very own contexts.
