Critique from the Gallery

Lutengano Mwakisopile’s work often depicts common day to day activities and rituals of urban african society. His work has an illustrative quality to it that is quite cartoonish in nature, brimming with vibrant hues and rustic textures that are derived from his prominent style of patching textiles to canvas. This results in an engrossing medley of rich and solid colors with striking tactile features that is likely to capture anyone's attention.
