Art Practice

Kiggundu’s paintings are quite figurative, symbolic, very patterned and ethereal with  a lot of colour juxtaposition and contrast. His style leans more into abstraction borrowing elements from both abstract and realism. He is highly influenced by the araism technique from West Africa (Nigeria). Kiggundu works on surfaces including canvas and plywood at the moment and is experimenting more material and surfaces as he develops this technique and style.

Kiggundu’s Mural Art concepts are inspired by the environment within which they co-exist. He draws inspiration from the community, people, vivid features, nature, beliefs and lifestyles within and around its location. He then creates murals most times with the community’s involvement making the mural take on a life of its own within their space. He has worked on mural projects in Uganda, India, Ghana and USA.

Kiggundu runs an art space called Kiggundu Art Studio, an independent Art Studio in Ndejje Kanyanya in Wakiso Uganda where he mentors  students, different early stage, emerging and established creatives from the surrounding community and beyond. These  meet to create together, consult, learn how to express themselves, engage in research and connect with community and each other. 

Kiggundu has participated in various local, regional and international exhibitions where he has showcased his work to a multitude of people. He has shown and exhibited both his paintings and mural projects in countries like India, USA, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana among other countries.
