Walking into Polka Dot Gallery in Nairobi two days before the opening of Coster Ojwang’ and Arnold Jaoko’s exhibition, entitled ‘Tales of Strokes’, the timing could not have been better.
To the untutored eye, one might have seen confusion as the gallery’s new manager, David Gathumbi was in the process of choosing which paintings to put where. That meant everything was in flux. Some works were coming down, while others going up.
