Ngule Freeman

20 September 2022

Born in Kinshasa (DR Congo) in 1999. He lives in Kinshasa.
Ngule is a self-taught artist who started to earn a living in 2016 by doing portraits on request. He tried his hand at painting during the same year, but without any joy. So Ngule picked up his graphite pencils and charcoal again. In 2019, he started a series on Congolese society in which he depicts, in his hyperrealist fashion, the wide variety of feelings and ways of life of young people in Kinshasa: addiction, jealousy, their search for an identity, etc. At the same time, in 2021 he began a series of portraits of internationally renowned Congolese artists. AKAA will be the first time his work has been shown at an art fair in Europe..
