Page 8 - Evans Mbugua ´Flower Power - Catalague - December 2021

His work, when illuminated by lighting, takes on an ethereal and
spiritual quality, reminiscent of the church school stained glass
windows, depicting hallowed and respected figures that he
recalls from his childhood in Kenya. Equally, the symbolism and
significance of light, speaks to the motifs of hope, peace, and

perpetual optimism that is consistent and recurring throughout
the entirety of his oeuvre, which in equal parts radiates from every
muse he captures, and reflects off their signature sunglasses.

Moreover, it would be remiss not to note the significance of light,
as an essential component of the process of photosynthesis,
required to nourish, and support the growth of the flowers that
the artist holds dearly. For Evans, and for society at large, flowers
remain a visual and physical manifestation of the beauty, sanctity

and fragility of life, as well as the social significance and role they
have long played as markers of offering, love and humanity.
