Michael Soi graduated from art school in 1996 He works as a full time artist in nairobi kenya. He says his work is as simple as can be. “I try to create an attitude of what you see might be what you get from it.
“I encourage the viewer to come up with any conclusion they want after viewing my work. he has an interest in erasure.
“My interest in erasure comes from my work as a visual artist working mainly in images, collage and multi media.
“I am involved in work that deletes, distorts and changes various images into what I want them to be, and am excited by the subtle play that erasure seems to create when executed in certain ways.
“My work is not about the suppression of images or distortion, or the negation of what the image represents, but is about obscuring the images in order to create a different relationship between the final piece and the viewer.
away from painting, michael has been with kuona trust where he was incharge of international exchange as a codinator of the wasanii international artists workshop and The international artist residency in kenya. Michael has since left kuona to concentrate in his artistic career.
i have keen spectator of contemporary social,economic and political trends. i have chosen to amerce myself into material that bombards our information channels and put in my interpretation of the situation. most of what i am working on is work that deals with corruption in many levels of Kenyan society. i use the cat and pig symbol as a metaphor to represent greed and gluttony.
