Muramuzi John Bosco (b. 1991, Ugandan) grew up in Sheema, a rural area in Western Uganda, and later moved to Kampala in 2004 to pursue his education and later his art career. He holds a Diploma in Industrial Art and Design from YMCA Comprehensive Institute in Kampala.
His intricate work and technique of interlacing rural-urban life stories were largely influenced by the weaving process he witnessed his mother practice while he was growing up. He also nurtured his talent by being involved in his primary school art projects and initiatives, including making art illustrations on blackboards.
Muramuzi’s raveled tapestry woven like acrylic paintings explore nature and the rural-urban Ugandan life; from his village’s flora and fauna to the busy city life, including markets, people, mode of transport and the settlement or rather architectural landscapes of the dynamic Kampala, Uganda. Combining acrylic within numerous art styles such as impressionism, abstract, and symbolism, he utilizes a mixture of vivid and sometimes monochromatic palettes to create stunning explosive patterns and imaginary compositions that glorify Ugandan life. He lives and works in Kampala, Uganda.
