Nairobi artist uses simple symbols to enhance African prints

Evans Mbugua

NAIROBI: What stands out in Evans Mbugua’s work is his ability to recreate extraordinary print creations through simple and popular symbols.

The artistic terms this graphic recycling, and he mainly draws his ideas from simple pictograms such as pedestrians crossing traffic sign and recreates patterns out of them and eventually mixes them with African patterns. Mbugua showcased the collection of print designs titled ‘Evoins’ last week at Kuona Art Gallery in Nairobi.
