Koko 5x7 oil


This is James Kangoroti. James is known as Koko at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center (www.carvingstudio.org). He is a wonderful Kenyan artist who did a residency there this summer. Mostly he sculpts exquisite pieces from wood, like this abstracted horse. He also is a really nice, and funny guy and his trip to Vermont this summer was his first outside of his native country. It was a challenge for me to get the texture of the wood right...it was still at a "choppy" stage. #87
