We are delighted to announce that Angalia is now representing Lianza.

Born on 29 April 1999 in Kinshasa (DR Congo), he has lived and worked in Montreal, Canada since 2023.

Lianza explores the fragility of human life through large portraits made on rice sacks, the fibres of which he then frays. By unravelling the fibres, Lianza seeks to express fragility, the fragments of the self that people lose and keep, the ties that are made and broken. In so doing, apart from the symbolic dimension of the process, he produces a stunning “slatted blind” effect, providing us with a glimpse of the private life of subjects with a magnetic presence, some of whom are extremely troubling, and whose feelings are elusive and whose enigmatic nature we seek to understand.

His work will be shown for the very first time in Europe in March-April 2025 at the gallery.
