He completed his undergraduate degree at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, Cape Town in 2009 and worked towards a Master\u2019s degree at the same institution. His work engages race, the militarization of society and the deep divides of post-apartheid South Africa and the post-colonial continent. He interrogates the collective narratives that inform our experience of the world, in particular those that evoke the black body as a site of fragmentation and distortion.<\/p>\n<p>Modisakeng was awarded the Sasol New Signatures Award in 2011. He has exhibited at VOLTA NY, New York (2014); the Saatchi Gallery, London (2012); Dak\u2019Art Biennale, Dakar (2012); Focus 11, Basel (2011); and Stevenson, Cape Town (2010). In 2013 he produced an ambitious new video work in association with Samsung as a special project for the 2013 FNB Joburg Art Fair. His work is part of public collections such as the Johannesburg Art Gallery, Iziko South African National Gallery, Cape Town and the Saatchi Gallery, London as well as in prominent private collections such as Zeitz MOCAA.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Works<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>No Serenity, 2019<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:px;
