Michael Soi: Heaven Can Wait: Circle Art Gallery One

He studied Fine Art and Art History at the Creative Arts Centre in Nairobi before joining the Kuona Trust’s Museum Art Studio in 1996. Soi’s practice functions as a visual diary of Nairobi, offering sharp satirical commentary on the city’s social, economic, and political realities. His work examines relationships - intergenerational, interracial, and transactional - what he describes as the economics of love. Themes of commercial sex work, popular culture, globalization, and consumerism recur as lenses through which he interrogates contemporary urban life.
