Original artwork
Edition 1 of 1
Paint on repurposed London bus panel
Simon Irungu (age 12)
The Wajukuu children are incredible, hilarious and full of spirit. Over the weekend workshop they flitted between two states: intently focused on their paintings or bouncing off of the walls, doing little dances and singing songs. They became great friends and in them I see bright futures.
This panel was painted by Simon Irungu. It is 30 x 51cm, and made of acrylic on aluminium. The sale of this painting will go directly toward the Wajukuu Art Project of Nairobi, Kenya.
In a brief interview with Simon, he said he felt good and that he enjoys drawing, singing, and drumming. Simon says he finds the beauty in his community at home and at church.
