Serge Alain Nitegeka

Burundian/South African 1983- 


Johannesburg-based, Burundian born artist Serge Alain Nitegeka works in painting and sculpture – including large site-specific installations that promote participation. His art references issues of identity, culture, and politics as influenced by forced migration, which he experienced as a refugee from Burundi. Nitegeka’s works are minimalist and abstract, often featuring bold black lines and geometric forms.

Nitegeka achieved his BFA in 2009 from the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. His accolades include a grant award from The Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation (2019); the Villa Extraordinary Award for Sculpture from the Claire and Edoardo Villa Will Trust (2018); and the Tollman Award for Visual Arts (2010). He has exhibited extensively since 2008, most recently a solo exhibition, Finding Black (2022), at Stevenson, Cape Town, and a group exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France, entitled Ubuntu, a lucid dream (2021 to 2022).
