Kay Chiromo

Witness Kay Chiromo (December 24, 1951 – 1994) was a Malawian artist and art educator.

[2][3] His medium was oil paintings but he also carried out book illustrations and made a video documentary.

Chiromo has inspired artists around the world including David McCurry who studied under him whilst in Malawi.

[8][9] Chiromo's oil paintings were sometimes built up with fabric, sand or pebbles to produce a deep relief and three-dimensional effect.

The UNESCO-sponsored book collection of his work was written by him but published after his death.
