Kamwathi Peterson

with 2 comments

Peterson Kamwathi might be a genius. It is most definitely a possibility. Both a printmaker and an avid drawer  he is one of the few artists in Kenya to have substantial political content to his work. His sheep series is dark, mysterious and captivating. See it whenever you can.

  2. Peterson created a sensation when he was artist-in-residence at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, USA. To me, he is the soul of contemporary Kenyan art.
