The Kibo Lane Art Fair, held last weekend in Nairobi’s Karen, was the venue where three working artists came out into the open air after hibernating quietly for far too long.
Geraldine Robarts, Gabriela Gakuo, and Gakunju Kaigwa may not look like they have much in common. After all, Geraldine is very much of a solo creative, working round the clock on her ever-experimental paintings. Meanwhile Gabby is more of an ‘emerging’ artist who only now, after many years working for an international airline, is coming back to her original training, which was in art and design. And Gakunju is a professional sculptor whose art has been shown all over the world, yet he too had gotten lost in his teaching and dedication to his students, such that he’s now reemerging after some time.
