Dennis Muraguri’s Exhibition of New Sculptures, Until Dec. 23 2021 @ Circle Art Gallery

Dates: Until December 23, 2021

Venue: Circle Art Gallery

Viewing: by Appointment

For viewing appointments and to view the show, visit – https://www.artsy.net/show/circle-art-gallery-dennis-muraguri-new-sculpture

About
After taking a 5 year break from sculpture, he wished to revisit this medium and find new approaches. In these new works, recycled wood is used as a foundation on which he adds disparate materials, merging them seamlessly to create a sense of harmony. Muraguri’s combination of his chosen media seems effortless, as though all the parts have grown up together and are natural extensions of one other.

The exhibition runs until 23 December 2021.
