Overview
We are pleased to invite to the opening of the exhibition on Sunday
2nd June 2024 from 10.00am to 5.00pm.
William Wambugu is a meticulous observer. In his earlier works he talked about objects, common things in life – chairs, containers, tools, clothes -
that surround him, applying black ink on paper, cardboard and rice paper.
His latest artworks, currently presented in this exhibition are more sophistically elaborated, large scale paper works. He still uses black ink, however, mixed with dark coloured hues of ink and occasionally collages, creating delicate lines and a variability of geometric forms. Veterinary surgical instruments hyper-realistically drawn, dark black, floating over large sharp white, glaring paper. Shades of figures emerging out of the geometric background. His exceptional pen brings the viewer to notice incredible details of his objects. His works are delicate and simple and simultaneously have strength and originality.
William Wambugu was born in 1983 in Nairobi, trained at the
Nairobi Art and Design School and developed his truly personal style.
The exhibition is on view until until 14thJuly 2024
