Doddridge Busingye
Born in Kampala, 1990 and lives in Kampala, Uganda
Doddridge Busingye lives and works in Kampala, Uganda. His paintings have been collected extensively and exhibited in both local and international exhibitions.
His work dares to share his opinion on sociopolitical, economic and gender ironies of his time. Busingye seeks monumentality through simplified composition, a firm structure, and a harmonious interrelation of idealized forms and colors. His color pallets usually play with balance of contrast and harmony of value, shades and tints. In his portraits, he tends to paint dark bodies but with vivid colors.
He endeavors to involve his art directly in the social struggles of post-independence Uganda. His inspirations are first, personal experiences; that is, his way of life, family, relationships, and his world views. His work is also informed by research through books, documentaries, and the current affairs.
