Einzelheiten
Herkunft : Provenance Acquired directly from the artist. Much of Kamwathi's work refers to historically important events. Elsbeth Court writes: 'Kamwathi extended the reference to the iconic bull to cover the 2002-3 Constitutional Conference which met in a large venue known as the Bomas of Kenya. Thus the drafting of that power-sharing constitution became known as the 'Bomas Process' The then government offered the public an altered version of the 'Bomas Draft', which when put to a national referendum was roundly defeated and resulted in frustrating stalemate. These events set Kimathi to devise his epic Constitutional Bulls series (2005-8) of twelve woodcut blocks. The outline of each bull is filled with a distinct motif for instance the Ndizi Bull with Bananas the referendum's sign for YES' The artist then produced a small edition of no more than two to three woodblock prints including artist's proofs. The original woodcut plates are the only unique works from this process.
