Gus Monday

b. 2000, British / South African, Lives and Works in London.

Monday’s practice explores how institutional and spatial frameworks - from museums to galleries to architectures of belief - mediate systems of power, care, and omission. Through painting and drawing, he reconstructs these environments as coded interiors that expose the hierarchies and ideologies embedded within them. Trained as a draughtsman, Monday approaches his compositions with measured precision, using material process as a means to translate observation, anxiety, and social critique into form.
