Fred Abuga
Fred is a creative Kenyan artist who showed exceptional talent at an early age. He was constantly referred to as” Chief Artist” because of his contribution to the drama and journalism clubs painting backdrops and cartoons.
Fred holds a diploma in Fine Art from the Buru Buru Institute of Fine Arts (BIFA) and has participated in numerous exhibitions both locally and abroad; at the National Museum of Kenya, National Arts Exhibition, ISK shows, Karen Blixen, La Rustique, Goethe Institute, Alliance Francoise and in Cortina, Italy. In 2006 he was the most promising male artist in the ‘Contemporary Art in Kenya’ juried exhibition held at the French Cultural centre and at the German Institute, Nairobi. Fred undertakes subjects of all forms, from village to city life, all in his unmistakable distinct style of vertical strokes. 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.
