Giko (Hosea Muchugo)
I wish I knew more about this fantastic artist…but “Giko” as he is called, remains an enigma. Now I have seen the artwork of Giko for over a decade and have tried to track him down fervently, but to no avail. His paintings are very highly regarded and are seen in only the finest art galleries in Nairobi. Until recently they have always been out of my reach, that is until I rediscovered the Banana Gallery and all of the artists that use this gallery as not only their homestead, but also as their primary outlet for their work. In the mix of all this is Giko, and his paintings still dazzle me.
I will continue to pursue Giko as I want to find more of his paintings. When I meet him in person I will be able to record some biographical information here on the site for you.. Until then, we’ll just have to settle with these incredibly colorful and creative paintings!
I’m sorry but all of Giko’s paintings are sold. I am continuing to pursue more artworks by the artists but I have been told he has moved to South African and is no longer painting.
