Peter Elungat needs little introduction. He is currently the one of the best selling artists domestically. In this exhibition, the canvases retain their charming medieval quality though the backgrounds have taken on a more pastel palette. As ever his canvases grow in size in tandem with the increasing appetite for them amongst the art buying public in Kenya.
