Athi-Patra Ruga: Of Gods, Rainbows and Omissions, a major solo show at Somerset House
7 August 2018 by Laura Collinson. This October, Somerset House and 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair will present new and rarely seen works from the internationally renowned South African artist Athi-Patra Ruga. In what will be his first major solo UK exhibition, Ruga will reveal a mythical world which challenges perceptions of cultural identity and parodies the construction of the South African nation-state, in the post-apartheid era.
