Illustration week - Wangchi Mutu

Wangchi Mutu




  • Born June 25th jun 1972, Kenya
  • An painter and a sculptor. 
  • Known for being a contemporary african artist, who uses her upbringing and culture to influence her work. 
  • To create her work she uses a huge variety of media including video, installation and sculptures, but is known best for her large scale collages pieces. 
  • The female body is ofter the central focus of her work, then is twisted with plants and animal elements.
  • These hybrid creatures that she creates are made up of a combination of machine, animal, human and monster parts. 
I find her work interesting to look at i like some of her pieces but other i just don't no where to look and then when i do, I don't totally like what i see. But i do like the textures that she creates onto the creatures she makes and the wide variety and living things she combines.
