Neo Matloga (b. 1993, Mamaila, Limpopo, South Africa) is a visual artist working between Mamaila, Johannesburg, and Amsterdam. Known for his distinctive large-scale figurative compositions in collage, charcoal and ink, Matloga explores the emotional and political textures of everyday life through a visual language shaped by movement, transition, and layered experience. His work often captures suspended moments — quiet, unresolved, and deeply human.
A graduate of the University of Johannesburg, with a focus on painting he completed a residency at De Ateliers in Amsterdam and has held solo exhibitions at institutions such as Marta Herford, Hermitage Amsterdam, S.M.A.K Ghent and Fries Museum. His work has featured in group exhibitions at Chazen Museum of Art, Zeitz MOCAA, Kunstmuseum Basel,
Stedelijk Museum, and BOZAR, among others. Matloga received the 2021 ABN AMRO Art Award and the 2018 Royal Award for Modern Painting and has participated in international residencies from Kenya to Panama.
Stripped of spectacle yet dense with feeling, Matloga’s practice foregrounds stillness, refusal, and presence —offering a visual poetics that resists resolution and invites attention.
