Page 4 - Evans Mbugua ´Flower Power - Catalague - December 2021

For Evans, a quintessential global citizen and visual artist,
rooted in Kenya, East Africa, with petals and leaves that branch
across Morocco, North Africa, to Spain and France in Europe;
Flower Power is not simply a series that captures the beauty
and sentimentality typically associated with flora, but moreso,
a rallying cry for humanity to embrace universalism, and the
mutually shared values, interests and visual language that we

all understand, and innately know, irrespective of our perceived
differences, whether real, superficial or imagined.

Evans’s unique practice of working on perspex and glass as
opposed to the more traditional canvas or wood panel that most
visual artists opt for, speaks not only to his desire to challenge
the status quo, push boundaries, explore and evolve, but
also to the reverence he has for light and reflection, and the
luminous quality and effect it has on his work, both literally and
metaphorically.
