About
One Off is delighted to feature Thom Ogonga’s ‘Village Gentrification’, a collection of mainly black and white prints, in its main exhibition space through October 2019.Thom says of his work ‘I am interested in the daily happenings around the space I live in and even more fascinated by the nocturnal activities. All the things that color the night; bar brawls, disco scenes, gambling, prostitution etc. excite the artist in me and feature prominently in my artistic practice’.
An accompanying exhibition of prints by a selection of other artists working in Nairobi will be shown in our additional space at #16 Rosslyn Lone Tree.
