Evans Yegon
However, Yegon was very disappointed when art was struck off from the 8-4-4 syllabus. This disruption, saw many of his friends too, who loved Art, struggling to find a clear avenue to express themselves. Art was his first love. Art was his only love.
Somewhere between five siblings, The Yegonizer went on to choose an even closer path to that of his father; putting Kenya on Canvas.
Today, The Yegonizer uses vibrant contrasting colors in order to highlight a “supernatural” illusion to his images. The semi abstract feel of the painting allows the audience to have a clear understanding of the painting even though the colors aren’t so ‘natural.’ This form of art is often seen as carrying a moral dimension, in that it can be seen to stand for virtues such as order, purity, simplicity and spirituality. He has worked with Almasi Art Agency in the recent Out of Africa Edition exhibition at The Sands at Nomad and currently shows at the Almasi Art Agency’s space in Diani.
