about.

Kenyan self taught artist Kamau Kariuki has been changing the course of modern art by developing an innovative method of relief sculpting, bending, and twisting acrylic to create an almost three-dimensional “painting on canvas.” Resonating with the Futurists and Constructivists, as well as the language of early non-objective painting, "the wonderer" (a term coined by most of his audience to describe his work) consist of pixel shapes made of tiny clustered dots and irregular patterns to create form. His application of the impasto technique Often gracefully formed and at times, boldly colored in black and white,––hang in an uncanny, perfect balance. The complex assemblage gives the audience the opportunity to relate to the paintings through physical touch and a short emotional description of poetic lines that are always a part of the paintings.
