Facing Mount Kenya

Oils on canvas, 1997.

 

Detailed study of conflicts and opposing views of pre and post-independence Kenya. Kenyatta, on the left was a political leader of the independence struggle while Dedan Kimathi was a military leader.

 

The struggle gave way for a new chance to re-build; the arms had to be exchanged for hoes, and the people needed to rise proudly to face a new dawn.

 

Private collection.
