What Ahmed Abushariaa constantly gives you over time is evolution of style, media and inspiration. Whereas his last exhibition at the Tribal Gallery in Nairobi last year was inspired by the rolling landscapes of the Rift Valley and the Blue Nile in Sudan, his just concluded show in the same venue took a more mordant tone, borrowing a ledger from the current war-torn Sudan. One would well consider it as a long note from a dirge.

His latest exhibition was untitled and bore paintings spanning back to 2016, and about 10 pieces recently drawn.
