Edward Manyonge’s debut
exhibition “Pieces of Fortune” is opening at The Michael Joseph Centre,
Safaricom House on Sunday afternoon 25th
August starting 3.00 p.m.– 5.00 p.m. and will feature surprise artists in
an acoustic performance. “Pieces of Fortune” celebrates the freedom provided by
modern aspects of art and its collection is a touch of contemporary designs
with some depicting architectural aspects while providing a minimalistic yet
valiant feel to Edward’s paintings, most of which are acrylic on canvas.
Painter Edward’s bold and
colorful works champion both figurative
and abstract mediums that enthrall into an inward journey into his world. His style portrays vivid images and
patterns painted "from the inside out" as he puts it, so as to allow
for the present moment to inform the process of creation with an intention to
feed heart and soul and instill a sense of peace and joy.
Edward started “playing
with colors” while still as young as five years old. He would later emerge Second
Best in Kenya in a national competition on painting sponsored by Kiwi at 12
years old. His works have previously been exhibited at joint exhibitions
including at Alliance Française and at Braeburn Garden Estate. After studying
Art, Design and Photography at the Buru Buru Fine Arts, Edward is now Braeburn
Garden Estate High School’s Graphic Designer and enjoys painting at any given
free time.
“Pieces of Fortune”
exhibition has been supported by Michael Joseph Centre and opens for public
viewing from Monday 25th August
till 2nd September 2013. Surprise guests will grace the
