Titre de la vente : Bought in Prior to becoming an artist, Kivuthi Mbuno worked as a cook in the safari industry, which led him to travel into the interior of both Kenya and Tanzania, exposing him to nature and the wildlife there. These long treks and his memories of the traditional life of his Wakamba ethnic group are the inspiration for his narrative works. His distinctive style using colour pencils, ink and pastels leads the viewer into a fantastical natural world, sometimes hostile, sometimes harmonious. This work is a rare example according to the artist it is one of only seven works in which westerners are depicted and, despite requests, he refuses to make any more. Mbuno has exhibited widely, in museums and private galleries across Europe including the Saatchi Collection in London and the Center for African Art in New York.
