Untitled 1992

Rosemary Karuga's "Untitled" from 1992 is a bold and colorful example of the artist's signature style of collage. Utilizing found materials like magazine clippings and newspaper fragments, Karuga crafts a vivid portrayal of an individual with a striking presence. The central figure, a man in a red tunic and a headdress, holds a staff, suggesting a sense of authority or perhaps a journey. The background is a dense tapestry of abstract patterns and fragmented text, hinting at the complexities of contemporary life. Karuga's collages often explore themes of identity, culture, and social commentary.
