Patrick Mulondo, 23, from Mpigi, remembers being 21 inspired by pull-outs in the New Vision about artists like Wednesday Tumwine and Naita. At school he sold jewellery made from beads. Then he started to no- tice the guys walking miles to 22 take metal to scrap yards for just 500 a kilo. Could he make Thursday art from metal? On internship from Makerere with Maria Naita, he learned to combine metal with fibreglass to create 23 complex figures, and now his scrap metal terminators are Friday popping up everywhere.

Henry Mujunga ‘Mzili’, 41, from Kampala, says as a child 28 he had an obsession with drawing over his shadow with Wednesday charcoal. He would squat in the mud making tiny bricks and building tiny houses on tiny streets. Now he uses found 29 objects such as hair, cow’s teeth and plastic to make col- Thursday lages. He says he’s portraying a decaying civilisation. He feels he’s working for a Western audience and that his work is 30 part of a European tradition rather than an African one. He Friday laments the fact that despite his success in a Western market, his work can seem meaningless back home. 31 [email protected] Saturday

Lucki Mutebi, 43, was born in Kenya in 1970. For him it 18 all started with the frescos in the Italian built church in his Wednesday village. He says he tried in vain to copy them with charcoal and soil, but he never gave up. He went on to learn painting 19 from Banana Hill Studio with help from Shine Tani. He feels Thursday he has tried to break free from the box of ‘naive’ African art, by creating his stylised realist portraits. Now his work 20 displays at his cafe on Bukoto - Kisaasi Road. Most of all he Friday says, he just wants “to paint and paint and paint.” 21 0787 922 885 [email protected] Saturday

Eria Nsubuga ‘Sane’, 34, from Entebbe, used to draw the 27 planes landing at the airport when he was a kid. He and his Wednesday brothers would write to Boeing to ask for brochures so they could draw the cockpits. He was a classmate of Ronex at 28 Makerere University. Now his art portrays scandals and suc- Thursday cess, pop singers and corrupt politicians, what he calls “the icons and ogres of today” - peo- ple like Irene Namubiru and 29 Geoffrey Kazinda. He wants his work to be public, so people in Friday the street can know him.

David Kigozi, 38, from Kam- pala, studied art at Kyambogo 30 University. As a sculptor, he was part of the team that cre- Wednesday ated the CHOGM monument by Parliament. But his paintings are often based on memories from childhood, and he feels 31 his work should “serve to com- plement the written word of Thursday so many African authors.” He combines rough brush strokes with vivid colours that blend to New Year’s Day create a heightened natural- 1 ism and a fluid sense of move- ment. He has exhibited widely Friday across Africa and Europe. 2 [email protected] Saturday

Patrick Mulondo, 23, from Mpigi, remembers being 21 inspired by pull-outs in the New Vision about artists like Wednesday Tumwine and Naita. At school he sold jewellery made from beads. Then he started to no- tice the guys walking miles to 22 take metal to scrap yards for just 500 a kilo. Could he make Thursday art from metal? On internship from Makerere with Maria Naita, he learned to combine metal with fibreglass to create 23 complex figures, and now his scrap metal terminators are Friday popping up everywhere.
