Latitudes Centre for the Arts| An Introduction by Tusevo Landu

Latitudes Centre for the Arts is pleased to present An Introduction by Tusevo Landu. 

Tusevo Landu studied at the Artists Proof Studio and later went on to become a self-taught painter. His practice encompasses acrylic painting, print-making, drawing, and various mixed media, reflecting his desire to explore the diverse facets of human expression. Landu's experiences as a Congolese artist living in South Africa have been a driving force in shaping his artistic practice.

He employs traditional African masks, typically used in Congolese coming-of- age ceremonies, as symbols of the enigmatic nature of his chosen subjects. Through his work, Landu explores how such cultural events can profoundly affect one's life, based on their appearance, bridging the gap between the ancestral and the contemporary.

The show runs from 8 November 2023 - 26 January 2024.
