Biography

Barry Lungu (born 1980 in Zimbabwe) is a first-generation, post-independence fine artist who has painted professionally for over 25 years from his studio in Harare. Noted for his expressive, energetic style, he paints primarily in acrylics on canvas, occasionally using oils.

Barry's art has appeared in exhibition tours such as "An African Story," displayed in venues including Dubai (2024), Chongqing (2024) Zurich (May 2025), Berlin (2025) and The Hamptons New York in 2025.
