Summary
Patrick is probably best known for his expressionist portraits of beautiful African women, some derived from his vivid imagination, others from any number of Kenya’s 43 communities.
But once he got commissioned by the World Agro-Forestry Centre to paint local landscapes in 2013, his impressionist visions of Kenya s natural spaces have won him many more admirers.
Patrick Kinuthia, one of Kenya’s most prolific painters, opened his new Roweinay Gallery in August with little or no fanfare.
