We congratulate Thami Mnyele Foundation alumnus Neo Matloga for his solo exhibition Back of the Moon at Stevenson Gallery Johannesburg, 15 May - 30 June 2020.

Based between South Africa and the Netherlands, Matloga describes his process as straddling choreography, conducting and creation. Inspired by scenes in plays, local soap operas and family albums, he manipulates images taken from books and magazines digitally, then overlays painterly compositions in charcoal, ink and liquid charcoal to produce orchestral combinations he terms ‘collage paintings’.
