Kimathi Donkor
Kimathi Donkor (born in 1965) is a contemporary British artist whose large-scale figurative paintings are "genuine cornucopias of interwoven reference: to Western art, social and political events, and to the artist's own biography".〔Coline Milliard, ("Kimathi Donkor - 'Queens of the Undead'" (review) ), Blouinartinfo, 2 November 2012.〕 Based in London, UK, he has family connections in Jamaica, Zambia, Nigeria and Ghana.〔Caroline Menezes, ("Retelling history through art — and interview with Kimathi Donkor" ), Studio International, 5 December 2012.〕
==Early life and education==
Donkor was born in Bournemouth, England, in 1965.〔Agnaldo Farias; Moacir dos Anjos; Adrian Piper; et al. (''29th Bienal de São Paulo catalogue: there is always a cup of sea to sail in'' ). São Paulo: Fundac̦ão Bienal de São Paulo, 2010. ISBN 9788585298333; ISBN 8585298332.〕 He has said of his background: "I was born in the UK to an Anglo-Jewish mother and Ghanaian father, but was raised by my adopted parents who were from Jamaica and the UK. We lived for a time in Zambia, Central Africa, where my adopted dad worked as a vet. I finished my schooling in the west of England, then moved to London, where I eventually settled. In the meantime, my adopted parents had divorced and remarried, so the family diversity actually increased, as Zambians also joined the party. This smörgåsbord life induced an early sense of the wondrous, and sometimes maddening, complexity of identities and histories, which, I think, has been reflected in my artworks. Precisely because I was such an intimate witness to the multiple crossings and re-crossings of stories, images and journeys from around the world."〔Philip Kaisary, ("An interview with Kimathi Donkor" ), ''Lacuna Magazine'', 18 February 2015.〕
Donkor received his BA (Hons) degree in fine art from Goldsmiths College, University of London, and a master's degree in fine art at Camberwell College of Arts.〔Yvette Greslé, ("Kimathi Donkor: ‘Daddy, I want to be a black artist’ @ Peckham Space" ), FAD, 3 October 2013.〕 In 2011, he was the recipient of the Derek Hill Foundation Scholarship for the British School at Rome.
