      George Kyeyune (1962-)

      Est: £400 - £600

      George Kyeyune (1962-) Figural abstract signed and dated 'KYEYUNE 96' (lower right) oil on canvas 65 x 96cm Known as an artist, sculptor and professor, Dr George Kyeyune is today considered one of the foremost painters of everyday life in his native Uganda. Born into a large, traditional Ugandan family in 1962, Kyeyune’s aptitude and enthusiasm for art was evidence early in his childhood – he recalls using the coarse ground as a canvas and drawing pictures on the floor just after it had rained. Upon his graduation in 1981, Kyeyune enrolled at the prestigious Margaret Trowell School of Fine Arts, before obtaining a master’s degree in sculpture from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, India and later, from 1999, studying for his PhD in Art History at the School of Oriental and African Studies, having been awarded a scholarship from the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission. Rendered in a typically muddy and organic palette of earthy reds and terrestrial browns, the present lot is characteristic of Kyeyune’s artistic language, which is celebrated for its immediacy and informality.
