Paul Onditi has long been regarded as one of Kenya’s most distinctive contemporary artists. The 45-year-old painter and printmaker moved to Germany in 2000 to study at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach am Main, returning home a decade later to a vibrant but evolving Nairobi art scene.

Two years after his return, he held Another World is Possible at the Alliance Française, the exhibition that launched his career.
