Artist of two worlds finally traces his way back to Kenya

Lucki Mutebi is not just a contemporary Kenyan artist, one of a dozen whose portraits (of Sebei women from Mt Elgon) serve as centre pieces at the African Portraits exhibition curated by Camille Wekesa at the Standard Chartered Bank in Chiromo, Nairobi.

Mutebi is also a “commuter” artist who travels between Kitale, Kahawa and Kenyatta University in Nairobi, and Kampala where he currently lives. But his travels have also taken him often to Paris and from Banana Hill to Bordeaux and Brussels where he studied interior design in the 1990s.
