Celebrating Progress
David Kuko’s KUKORI 29.29 exhibition is more than just a birthday celebration. It’s an introspective look at his growth in the media space. As a creative, David views this occasion as an opportunity to reflect on his artistic evolution and share his unique perspective with the world.
“Kukori 29.29 Exhibition by David Kuko is a themed celebratory event,” says David Kuko to AkweyaTV during an interview days before this birthday. “On the 29th of November, 2023, I turn 29, and I am using this occasion to celebrate my progress in the media space. As a creative, I have the opportunity to look back and reflect on my growth through the years.”
A Glimpse into Everyday Life
The exhibition features a diverse array of works, ranging from captivating photographs documenting daily life to intriguing portraits of both ordinary people and notable figures in society. David has honed his editing skills to elevate his work to the level of art, aiming to redefine perceptions about photography and art in the process.
David’s inspiration stems from his desire to showcase the world through his eyes. Embracing the fundamental role of perspective in art, he considers himself a visual explorer with an endless passion for the expressive possibilities of photography. Through his lens, David invites viewers to experience the richness of his diverse expressions and beliefs.
“Over the years,” the artist says, “I have also cultivated new editing skills that make a lot of my work come off as art. I want to use this medium as a way of showcasing that there’s more to the photography and art business.”
Memorable Responses: The Acceptance of “My Style”
The most memorable response to David’s work has been the recognition and acceptance of his unique style. In the competitive world of art and photography, having a distinctive style is a testament to an artist’s progress. David finds fulfilment in not only being acknowledged for his style but also in having people willing to invest in and support his creative vision.
While economic concerns pose challenges, particularly in the art market, David remains optimistic. Acknowledging the impact of the economy on purchasing decisions, he views the exhibition not only as a platform to sell his works but also as an opportunity for networking and publicity.
“The economy is a cause for concern. Thankfully, I have people who are somewhat familiar with my work and show some interest. The challenges of the economy are quite evident, and it causes one to be worried. I’m worried about the economy and how it may affect the event. However, I am looking beyond the event.”
He says building a stable community becomes pivotal to weathering economic fluctuations and fostering long-term patronage.
“This event is also geared toward networking and publicity. I want more people to know what my capabilities are and to grow a stable community. A stable ecosystem helps me retain customers and people who will patronise me.”
Immersive Artistic Expression: Creating a Meaningful Feat
With a carefully curated event, David aims to provide an immersive experience for participants. He wants the audience to feel the seamless blend of digital and physical elements, allowing them to witness his growth as an artist and visual explorer. This inaugural event sets the stage for future endeavours, as David aspires to build on this foundation for upcoming exhibitions.
