Michael Armitage
The paintings and drawings of Kenyan-British artist Michael Armitage (b. 1984) give shape to real and imagined histories, constructing deeply rooted impressions of the sociopolitical and cultural contexts that affect contemporary daily life in the region. These sweeping compositions combine visual references to recent events, the art-historical canon, the artist’s East African artistic milieu, and his own memories, while also generating space for the spiritual and the symbolic.
