Winston Irungu

I can describe my style of practise as simple as placing a microscope on black culture, a process in which I rediscover hidden history, atrocities, agendas and dilemma struggles of the dynamic Afrodiasporic group, highlighting the negative and positive that all the while history forgot to acknowledge or represent.

I paint, collage, stencil, sculpt and also print make, I am fascinated by mixing media and making new outcomes from old scrapheaps. I experiment with the use of paint/colours on different surface and textures to give an interesting feel to the outcome within the canvas. I am also interested in

the layering of materials in order to build a structural/sculptural composition. Most of my works are portraits and murals of black composite figures, I aim to communicate subjects such as racism, injustice, history and popular culture. The works included are a mix of my ongoing / finished pieces.
