Beatrice Wanjiku

Kenyan 1978- 

Beatrice Wanjiku is a Kenyan painter whose artworks explore the tension between external pressures and our internal state of being, through the use of the human form.

In 2000, Wanjiku received a diploma from the Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts in Nairobi and quickly became a distinguished artist on the Kenyan contemporary art scene. Wanjiku’s work has been shown and collected widely in Kenya.

Wanjiku’s artwork has been displayed in major international exhibitions including Africa Now: Emerging artists from a continent on the move, Washington DC, 2008, Africa Within: Many eyes one soul, London, 2006 and Pop-Up Africa at GAFRA, London, 2014. In 2015 Beatrice Wanjiku participated in the exhibition Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner at the Richard Taittinger Gallery, New York curated by Smooth Ugochukwu, and The African Tree at Ostrale 2015 Dresden, Germany and at the Mercosul Biennale in Brazil in 2023.
