The Art of BERNARD NDICHU NJUGUNA

Bernard Ndichu Njuguna was born in 1979 and grew up in the central highlands of Kenya surrounded by scenic landscapes and greenery. Moving narratives from his mother and observing his father prepare art lesson schemes for the school where he taught, were his earliest exposures to art. These childhood scenes have shaped and provided inspiration for his paintings. He works with a variety of materials to recreate everyday scenes and experiences, lending it true to the feeling that a sunset is never the same. His paintings are inspired by nature, feelings, music and even to a greater extent the beauty of humanity. Most often the images of Africa are of malnourished children, never ending conflicts and misery, and yet in the light of all this, the continent still exudes vibrancy and joy. This is the side of Africa Njuguna explores and documents in his paintings. He mainly works with acrylics, oils and water colors. To make use of what is in his environment, he also experiments with recycled materials in plastic and aluminum to create decorative sculptures. This also doubles as an effort to clean up the world of dumping related pollution. His recent effort is in print form, on all the greeting cards he paints, urging for pollution reduction. Njuguna never studied art as a profession but he had a chance to take it as a special subject in both primary and high school. These two institutions provided for his initial skills in art. Professionally, he pursued marketing in college, but after two years decided to follow his call for art. His Initial works were exhibited at Artz gallery in Nairobi in 2003 and he has since sold his paintings world wide. World renown galleries like Amazwi and Dumela based in America have played a big role in exposing his work to the world art market. He is now a full time artist based in Nairobi, Kenya.
