About This Event
Textured Art Gallery proudly presents 'My Coat of Many Colours,' a stunning solo exhibition by celebrated artist Benard Omondi, popularly known as Art Benny. Running from 11th September to 11th October, this showcase explores themes of identity, resilience, and purpose, captured in the artist's powerful words: 'Sold by envy, sustained by hope, clothed in purpose.'
The exhibition features vibrant, richly textured paintings that blend bold colour palettes with evocative African imagery — from lantern-lit night scenes and floating boats to striking portraits adorned in traditional patterns. Each piece invites viewers into a dreamlike world where culture, memory, and hope intertwine.
Join us for the official opening on Friday, 11th September 2026, from 5:30PM to 8:00PM at Textured Art Gallery, Blue Moon Mall, Watamu. The exhibition is curated by Sally Bellah. Art lovers, collectors, and the culturally curious are all welcome to meet the artist, experience the works up close, and celebrate the launch of this remarkable collection.
