Stephen Kasumba

Ugandan 1960- 

Stephen Kasumba studied at Kyambogo University, Kampala, and later at the Margaret Trowell School of Fine Arts, where he completed his postgraduate study in Fine Art.

Kasumba’s lusciously colourful paintings often play with subverting pictorial conventions as a way to create modern images, inspired by Buganda legends and traditions.

Kasumba has exhibited locally and internationally. In the early 1990s he won an art prize which sent him to France where he met the German artist Matthias Koerner with whom he held joint exhibitions, including at the Kampala Sheraton Hotel in 1996 and in Cottbus, Germany the same year. In 2001 he participated in the Thupelo artist workshop and exhibition in South Africa in 2001.
