The Hunters by Seth-o Omollo reminds me of rock paintings. About 4 years ago, I went to see some rock paintings in Kenya on Mfangano Island, which is near where many of the famous Kenyan archeological sites are. It's not too far from Kisumu, where these artists are based and the population is from the same tribe, the Luo. This thus speaks to a very different type of cultural heritage to some of the other pieces in this lot. This painting has been the favorite of many who peruse these paintings.
