Olebogeng Esemang

Olebogeng Esemang (b. 2001) is a Soweto-born multidisciplinary artist studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand. Their practice is an outpouring of self; honest, intuitive, and grounded in lived experience. Working experimentally across painting, sculpture, and installation, they approach materials as active collaborators, allowing intuition and process to guide their hand. Esemang’s work draws deeply from personal and familial histories, engaging memory not as something fixed, but as something fluid, constantly moving, shifting, and living. Through their explorations of form and texture, they seek to give memory shape and presence, building a living archive that holds what has been as well as what continues to unfold.
