Artist: Masela Nkolo | Location: Atlanta, GA
Atlanta, GA
Masela Nkolo is a multidisciplinary artist who resides in Atlanta. He was born in Kinshasa, Congo where he graduated in fine arts with an emphasis on large-scale sculpture from the academy of fine arts. Failing his first year in art college in the course of sculpting allowed him to confront his identity as a Congolese and to reap the benefits of his heritage. Afterward, Masela quickly joined his friends in an art movement in the streets of Kinshasa. Together they called their movement “Neo - Ngongism.” They started out exhibiting in the streets to awaken the population's consciences through the arts. His work has previously been displayed at various galleries such as Moca, GA; the Mint Museum, NC, and at Artfields, in Lake City, SC.
