Judges' Quotes

William Ndwiga

The artist captures the feeling of nearly being overwhelmed. There is a lot going on and the subject of the piece is in the thick of things. It is a familiar rush for us all. And yet the artist leaves us with a lot to interpret. 

 

Emily Odongo

The Wait captures a moment in time in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Nairobi. The simplicity of the technique and the presentation are perfectly executed. The subject matter of this piece is simple, but not so simple.

Don Handa

This work is well executed and eloquent. The piece does not have a lot of visual stimulation but still manages to capture a single moment. You get a sense of the energy and the bustle of that space. It tells its story in a reduced, cleaner, more direct, and eloquent way.
