Michael Armitage: The Promise of Change

By Michael Armitage

East African culture meshes with Western European mythology in Armitage's dense and flamboyant compositions

In Kenyan British artist Michael Armitage's (born 1984) most recent works, mythology, migration and sexuality converge in his large-format paintings made on Lubugo, a Ugandan bark cloth, emphasizing the East African iconography at the heart of his visual language.
