Oil on canvas. 40 cm by 50cm
Old cars and ‘matatus’ in Kenya burn two to three times more fuel to cover the same distance. Their carbon footprint per kilometer is effectively doubled or tripled, which affects the environment contributing to climate change.
Zephania Lukamba, Kwani hufiki, 2026, Oil on canvas. 40 cm by 50cm
Zephaniah Lukamba endeavours to express himself through his artworks by the use of oil paints on canvas. His compositional tendencies have a quality to evoke a sense of deja vous in its viewers. He expresses an unspoken dialogue with colour, resulting in recognisable moods. In the last eight years, Lukamba has been privileged to exhibit at the National Museum of Kenya (2016-2025), The Kenya Art Fair (2017), Mtaani Exhibition (2017-2024), Manjano Exhibition (2020), One-Off Gallery (2020 - 2023), ZPAP Kierat Gallery & Sztuki Schowek gallery in Poland (2021-2022), Circle Art gallery (2023), Almasi Art gallery (2022-2025), among others. He envisions a future of continuous exploration, delving further into the expressive power of his chosen medium. Themes of birds, overloaded cars and matatus will remain at the core of his artistic practice, allowing him to convey narratives that resonate with viewers on a profound level.
