Zemba Luzamba
Zemba Luzamba’s paintings interrogate and satirise social and political power structures in Africa. Luzamba’s paintings hover on the border of satire, at once appearing to mimic the colonial lifestyle of the post-colonial elites while simultaneously bringing it into question: is this pure observation, aspiration, or critique? These moments are captured in bright colours, taking up the foreground of the canvas with figures framed in specific scenarios: bars, offices, homes and the undefined.
Born in Lubumbashi, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Luzamba studied Fine Art in Lusaka and moved to South Africa . He is currently based in Cape Town.
