My name is Kanuge John Bosco a master printmaker who was born and raised in Uganda (East Africa). I went for training at the Margaret Trowell School of Industrial and Fine Arts, Makerere University for the undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. My art philosophy aligns with the pragmatist theory of art that states that art exists to serve a function and is conceptualised in terms of its effects on its audience and in terms of the purpose it is designed to accomplish. In line with this I participated in a “Break the Silence” HIV-AIDS Print Portfolio project in 2000 which was aimed at production of prints that would be used in the sensitization campaign about HIV-AIDS in South Africa. Fortunately, this work has not only benefitted people in South Africa alone, the print portfolio has traversed the globe and touched the lives of many. Currently it is part of the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
My style of work aligns with the saying that a true artist is the one who always has work in progress. I have adopted this as my working or inspirational statement. Subject matter for art where I live is ubiquitous hence the varied themes I explore in my prints. Messages of happiness, affection, love, beauty feature greatly. I am keen on the making process, and this is the part I enjoy most. The viewer is meant to appreciate the final product. The value of a print to me lies not in the final artwork but in the process of making it.
