Painted in 1996 Galgalo Sharmbala and his wife are from Hoda in the Tana River region of Kenya. He was the community head at that time . The couple are cattle keepers.
This painting is captivating in form and colour. The white on Galgalo’s cloak and matching hair brings out the contrast of the blue and red in the couple’s dressing. Traditional elders had the spear for security never far from its owner. The wife is almost invisible with respect to Islamic secretive nature where she is strictly limited to her husband admiration and no to outsiders.
$400 – $900
