Africa-Press – Uganda. The evolution of painting continues to grow as innovators and artists in this field push boundaries, setting high standards for their work.
Technology is one of the key drivers that painters rely on today, with creatives like Pulis Aminsi combining modern techniques with African traditions and culture.
“ We have to respect our norms and culture” says Pulis “ even though we have techonology. Many think technology is for the Whiteman” he adds
Aminsi explains how he gathers some of the tools he uses to incorporate technological advancements into African art. “ To bring out the real impression of technology, I had to add in this wire because most time they are simply thrown in trash”
Joel Kateba, the founder of Munze a platform that brings together painters and the movement known as Tech Africulture, says this is one way to market Uganda’s and Africa’s culture to the rest of the world. “ At this point we can’t fight technology,it is here to stay. So what we have to do is embrace it in our culture and use it to sell our norms to other nations” says kateba
Dr. Lillian Mary Nabulime, an art lecturer at Makerere University, says that as creatives, they first analyze what they can gain from technology, and that is where their innovation begins.
“My teacher inspires me” she adds “ You see these wornout computers prof Francis Nagenda will open them up,get parts and use them to bring out an extraordinary art pieace”
Beyond offering relaxation to those who appreciate art, paintings also provide an opportunity for learning and knowledge acquisition.
