Steve Bandoma graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts of Kinshasa in 2004. During his studies, he became part of the artist collective "Librisme Synergie". He uses several medium and techniques such as performance, photography, painting but also collage. He produces his collages with images from magazines that he reuses giving them a modern meaning and, as he says, "A new life". The mix of techniques brings a dynamic into his artworks; an aesthetic inspired by the bustle of Kinshasa and reflects a new African society in constant evolution. With the combination of drawing, color splashes and collage, Bandoma composes an incredible aesthetic of explosion, or rather of implosion, chaos and humor, often on the background of political distress. Faces, limbs, animated figurines, fetishes assemble to give life to what seems to be a disjointed and deconstructed composition that is actually well thought-through and carefully composed. His work is assembled into series according to the comment they make about politics, culture or the news. In 2005 he moved to Cape Town, South Africa, where his career started taking off. In 2009 he did an artist residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris; in 2011 he exhibited at Art Basel and in London before going back to Kinshasa in 2012, where he exhibits at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles and the Institut Français. In 2018-2019, he did an artist residence and exhibited at the Grassi Museum für Volkerkunde zu Leipzieg.
