Stephen Langa (b. 1995) is a contemporary South African artist. Langa’s intimate imagery explores stories of the people, experiences and environment around him. Harkening back to artists like George Pemba, Claude Monet, Gerard Sekoto, Jo Maseko and more, his work presents visions of new economic narratives and reality. Langa’s work seeks to explore the intimacy of black cultural experiences, composition’s that have questions for the viewer and highlights of his own experiences of his hometown and the city. These are visually detailed to reflect his journey, experiencing life in both worlds and moving from one place to another.
