Titolo di vendita : Bought in Elkana Ong'esa was born into a family of craftsmen with a long heritage of stone carving. Ong'esa was the first to combine these traditional skills with training in fine arts acquired at Makerere University, the University of Nairobi and McGill University in Canada. He is now one of Kenya's most recognized artists. Memory of a Fallen Hero commemorates the sad story of Kenya's gold medallist boxer, Roger Wangila, who died in the ring. His remains were fought over by many communities in Kenya and remained in the morgue during a lengthy legal case for his burial rights. He was the biological nephew of the artist and so this sculpture, made in 1985, was re-dedicated to Wangila's memory. Ong'esa has travelled widely studying, lecturing and collaborating internationally as well as exhibiting in places such as Hong Kong, the USA, Burkino Faso, Egypt, Canada and Sweden. Commissioned major artworks include pieces for the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in 2010, the Murumbi Peace Memorial in 2008 and the Rosenberg Museum at Hofstra University in New York, USA in 2004.
