About the Item

Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Born in 1991 in the Western Ugandan town of Fort Portal, Switzin Twikirize currently resides in Kampala. Twikirize’s paintings are evocative reflections of Ugandan people, their cultures, and environments through his eyes. He employs bright colors and dark tones so that every piece he does delicately exudes both the vibrancy and gloom that characterize life within the artist's immediate environment. Through their posture, movement, and expressions, his subjects tell poignant stories of Uganda’s beauty, sense of community, struggles, celebrations, triumphs, and disappointments. His current body of work interrogates notions of community. Drawn towards this theme during the pandemic when the lack of community was felt by many around the world, this personal experience led him to dive deeper into how ideas of community have changed in recent (Pan-African) history: “When we gather together in the moonlit village ground it is not because of the moon”, Chinua Achebe writes in his classic Things Fall Apart in 1958, “Every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so.” What the artist has experienced during lockdowns and pandemic-related restrictions recently, has in some way or another, been shared by African people since the early days of colonialism; a gradual shift from communal to individualist societies. Old systems and general structures on which communities had been built eroded and left gaps in power, support, authority, and education, among others. On a micro level, this reflects in both Twikirize’s and many other young Africans’ experiences of moving from the countryside, where communal systems are still more substantial, to the city in early adulthood. Returning to a childhood spent within a close-knit community, nostalgia, and romanticism bring in yet another layer of interrogation. Twikirize’s work ultimately captures and preserves the feeling of being human in Uganda – being human through interaction and relation with others.
