Art Auction East Africa - modern and contemporary art from East Africa

Theresa Musoke is best known for her expressive portrayals of African wildlife, using a range of mediums to develop imagery. In this painting, Musoke's sensitivity to the nature of her subject is captured perfectly in the fluidity of movement between the tightly packed antelope as they merge in the light. Her work first began to receive attention while she was an undergraduate student at the Margaret Trowell School of Fine Arts in Kampala, at a time when very few women were studying in higher education. Musoke then received a scholarship to complete a Masters in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art in London. On receiving her postgraduate diploma, Musoke returned to live in East Africa, where she was based in Nairobi for many years.
