Mike Kyalo's Gallery: ARTIST STATEMENT My work is appreciation view on social and economic issues in respect to the environment. I focus on working men as my main subject so as to address their impact to the society. Textured moving strokes, light and shadow, is my play ground to dictate the mood in each piece. I am influenced by the daily occurrence and the Jua kali life, thus adding my own interpretation to draw a connection with my audience. I create storyline in painting by making a series of the same subject in different surroundings. I feel a painting is finished if it gives me self-satisfaction, knowing that is a problem well solved. BIOGRAPHY Am a Kenyan born artist based at the Go down Art centre specializing on painting, inspired by change of weather and men on their daily socio-economic activities capturing both positive and negative aspect of their life hidden in the fingertips of the society by the society; my focus is on how I see and understand the environment around me in terms of color, idea and background mood thus presenting it in impression form with light and shadow being a basic unit of my work. Exhibition in various venues including ISK and NMK.
