Denis Mubiru (b.1988, Masaka, Uganda<br />

Biography<br />

Mubiru is a Fine Art graduate from Nkumba University in Uganda. He is a co-founder of<br />

Pushing Art Africa where he currently works. Using acrylics, he paints with his bare fingers,<br />

brushes and palette knives executing bold and expressive art depictions. Mubiru draws<br />

inspiration from his day to day Kampala matatu (city commuter taxis) experiences and the<br />

urban culture. He retells the exciting dramas that unfold within society: petty arguments,<br />

flirting and matatu wolokoso (gossip), all of which reflect Kampala’s social life and Uganda<br />

at large. Mubiru has participated in Group Exhibitions at Makerere University Art gallery,<br />

Nommo Art gallery, AKA Art gallery, Laba Arts festival, Bayimba International Arts Festival,<br />

KlaArt014 among others. He attended a 3 months Art Residence at the Ugandan Arts Trust.<br />
