Sujay Shah is an artist currently living and working in Kenya. Sujay uses the language of painting and drawing to satirize colonial pasts whilst also exploring absurd presents and futures. His work looks at the problematic aspects of big game hunting, safari and “conservation” of the colonial era and how these perceptions still haunt us today. In 2022, he was awarded a Venice travel fellowship by Wangechi Mutu Studio & in 2023 he had his first solo at Circle Gallery in Nairobi.
During his residency at 32° East, Sujay continued his work on big game hunting, safari and “conservation” of the colonial era. He created collages on canvas depicting big game mounted in colonial homes and lodges, as well as sculptures.
