From Fire Future Was Set Drawing In Soot

Weazher is an artist who operates in a realm of self-assured freedom, the kind that borders on the supercilious. He is unrestrained in approach by the conventional forms and methods of pictorial construction. Firmly, he gets to grips with his new bearings and using this heightened consciousness to carve out his niche and destiny of choice in materials like Tadooba flames, soot, charcoal, soil and acrylics. His journey of self-discovery is being enforced by a dynamic of technical equipment. Weazher was born in Kampala district of Uganda, 1986 and Art has been his passion since childhood. After a Diploma in music, Weazher joined Michelangelo School of Creative Arts for a Diploma in Art and Design awarded by Kyambogo University. He later won a government scholarship and joined Kyambogo University for a Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Industrial Design. He later pursued a Post graduate Diploma in Education, a Master in Art and Industrial Design from the same University and a Master in Vocational Pedagogy from Oslo Metropolitan University.

Weazher has held Art exhibitions with galleries and museums in different countries; Uganda, Norway, Germany, Denmark and Belgium. As an Art educationist, he participated in the reformatting of a national non formal curriculum and volunteered in different NGOs (Charity Organizations) as Art instructor for performing and visual arts. Working with different organizations provided him a higher opportunity to find ways of realizing his dream of mentoring young artists with emphasis on new look at art, sensitized art culture and a positive artistic life for social transformation. This rise has been punctuated by several translocations in his aesthetic idiosyncrasies and today he is a founder and Director of Tadooba Gallery as well as a lecturer at Kyambogo University. This makes him occupy an art space that singles him out of the crowd.
