Michael Armitage is known for his powerful and lyrical oil paintings on Lubugo, a traditional bark cloth from Uganda. He weaves narratives drawn from Western art history, historic and cultural events, personal memories and aspects of East African culture and folklore into his paintings.

In 2017, Turner Contemporary staged Peace Coma, Armitage’s first show in a UK public gallery. Since then, Armitage has gone on to be considered one of the leading painters of his generation, with exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2019); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2020); The Royal Academy, London (2021) and Kunsthalle Basel (2022). And in 2020 he founded the Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute, a non-profit visual arts space in Kenya to promote art by practitioners in East Africa.

Armitage has retained a close relationship with Turner Contemporary since his show, first as an Artist Trustee (2017-2021), and more recently as an Ambassador for our work. This new limited edition print, Vision II is based on the painting Vision (2013), which was included in his exhibition at Turner Contemporary.

‘‘I am thrilled to be the first artist to make a print for Turner Contemporary Editions, and to have worked with Counter Editions in their Margate print studio to create Vision II.’’
