retiring to a passion
Dates: July 16-29, 2016
Venue: Banana Hill Art Gallery

About
What does an exhibits designer do after retirement? Patrick Milenye Adoyo knows exactly what he wants to do and that is to make a career out of his greatest passion – art. The former head of Exhibits section of the National Museums of Kenya is not new to the art scene having exhibited several times in different spaces locally and internationally. Colourful market scenes and busy baiskols are very Adoyo but it is in the heart warming countryside compositions with cheerful themes that his passion for what he does is most evident. Designing museum spaces and developing exhibitions is as challenging as it is fulfilling, a life skill for the design professional, fine artist, leader, and now elder as he goes out to face his passion.

Patrick Adoyo’s exhibition will be at the Banana Hill Art Gallery until July 29 2016.
