Jongo has made a name for himself in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, as a stylish purveyor of daily life. His distinctive work often evokes joy and wonder – that feeling one gets upon seeing a work of art that is absolutely delicious, shall we say. Jongo’s colourful work is like food itself, essential to life. His style is vigilant and descriptive, whether he is painting street scenes or portraits of individuals in conversation. This collector discovered Jongo via African Wildlife Foundation CEO Kaddu Sebunya, a dedicated collector in Nairobi.
