Moshekwa Langa is an artist whose oeuvre encompasses myriad forms of creative expression, ranging from drawing and installation to video and photography. Drawing inspiration from his immediate surroundings, Langa adeptly amalgamates materials, chronicling his personal history and emotions. Influenced by his upbringing in a non-descript rural “Homeland” during the apartheid era, Langa diligently traces his own memoirs in his pieces, utilizing significant individuals, events, and locations from his life as a framework to reflect upon physical and psychological boundaries. Central to his artistic project, Langa’s large-scale works on paper possess an otherworldly quality, resulting from the accumulation of ephemeral marks and actions, and the mediation of seemingly disparate elements. Infused with poetic and sentimental elements, Langa’s work strives to visually depict experiences and emotions that elude verbal description, grappling with the ever-elusive nature of meaning.
Residing and creating in Amsterdam, Moshekwa Langa’s work is currently showcased in a group exhibition titled New New Babylon at Kunstmuseum Den Haag in The Hague, Netherlands, on view until August 31, 2025. In 2022, Langa’s work was the subject of a solo exhibition at KM21 in The Hague. In 2021, Andrew Kreps Gallery presented the first solo exhibition of Langa’s work in New York, aptly titled The Sweets of Sin. Previous solo exhibitions featuring Langa’s oeuvre have been held at esteemed institutions such as Kunsthalle Bern in Switzerland, and Modern Art Oxford in the United Kingdom.
