About the Item

It was boiling hot as I walked the 3 kilometres to the Nyangatom village of Kangatan. A shimmering heat haze and occasional dust devils whipped fine powder across the flat, bare landscape. The boy had prominent scarification on his stomach as a mark of his clan and would soon be involved in moving the family livestock across highly disputed territory. The Nyangatom are renowned as being fierce fighters. The boy’s confidence belied his youth and spoke of a deep rooted self-belief essential for his future role in Nyangatom society. John Kenny’s work is all shot on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa. His images are all taken with natural light and in their day to day attire. John Kenny’s black and white photographic portraits are taken on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa and India. All shot with natural light and with the subjects in their day to day attire they reveal the pride and strength inherent in tradional ways of life. The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a very contemporary feel. Edition of 3 Presentation: C-type acrylic face mounted print Signed by the Artist Certificate of Authenticity Country – Ethiopia Culture – Nyangatom Year – 2009 Frame - Acrylic face-mounted Size - 54" x 36"
