Buriani!

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Tanzanian artist Robino Ntila (1953 - 2020), pictured here (right) on a visit to @circleartagency in October 2019. He was an accomplished artist, master printmaker, and a great supporter of artists across East Africa.
A generous and energetic spirit, Robino supported numerous artists throughout his career, travelling frequently to Nairobi, with armloads of art to exhibit not just his, but also the work of other Tanzanian artists; conducting artistic workshops across africa; and putting on local and international exhibitions of art from Tanzania. His contribution to East African art is beyond compare.

We extend our condolences to his family and friends, he will be missed dearly.

Seven years ago today we opened our first ever exhibition, a celebration of abstraction by kenyan artists in the then vacan ground floor of @pwc_ke towers in Westlands, Nairobi. .
Here's some pictures from them, including a view of the space before the exhibition, and the rarely seen online faces of @fred_abuga, @justus8827 and Sidney Mang'ong'o
