Note : PROVENANCE:Purchased from the artist in the 1980sWith Sarang Gallery, NairobiA private collection, UKCharles Sekano is a South African Artist who was exiled in Kenya during the apartheid years and worked as a visual artist and musician in Nairobi during the 1980s. He was part of a select group of Gallery Watatu artists and his work has influenced subsequent generations of Kenyan painters. His drawings and paintings celebrate the bohemian, multiracial world of the Nairobi nightclubs that offered an often perilous escape from the drabness and oppression of the Daniel Arap Moi regime and a colorful alternative to the deadening restrictions of apartheid in his own country. His work is in the Peabody Essex Museum collection and in museum collections in Europe.
