Synopsis
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.
