Studio Processes

Now that the exhibition is up and running here are some shots of the studio processes that culminate into a show. As an artist most of what the public gets to see is the finished product and never the process that leads to it. The sketching, the studies which I have posted before. Some of the works on paper have been exhibited as studies and complete works which I then develop further onto works on canvas.

Finally the exhibition opened yesterday at the Oneoff gallery, Nairobi with friends, family and the art fraternity. To keep up with the spirit of updating here are some images of the exhibition. The show is up till the 24th of May.
