Press release

Shaun Motsi (b. 1989, Harare) is a visual artist currently based in Brussels and Berlin. In his artistic practice, he considers the way that cultural narratives are constructed, inherited and appropriated over time and across geographies. Working across painting, video and installation, Motsi organises his motifs across jokes and precepts that have symbolic importance. Shaun Motsi’s work has been presented at MMK, Frankfurt am Main (2025), Deichtorhallen, Hamburg (2024), Auto Italia, London (2023); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2023), Freiburg Biennial, Freiburg (2023), Goethe Institut Paris (2022); Shedhalle, Zürich (2020); Portikus, Frankfurt am Main (2020); 3HD Festival, Berlin (2019), among others. He is a graduate of the HfbK Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main (2020), and is an alumni of the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam (2023-2025). Motsi was just recently a resident at WIELS, Brussels.
