Azael Langa’s art perpetuates the idea that inspiration comes from home. His prolific use of fumage as a medium to explore the bittersweet socio-political landscape of South Africa ties into Langa’s thematical interrogation of the interconnectivity of communities. It is this conceptual combination which gives Langa’s work a melancholic yet jubilant impression. He uses overlooked individuals from his community to explore ideas of inequality, social injustices and elitism whilst simultaneously evoking the notion that individuality is always connected to the formation of a community. His artist signature is always represented by the presence of a blue house which coincides with the sentimental notion of ‘home’ - as a place we all return to in way or another.
