The Brush Tu collective was set up by a group of artists keen to develop their potential and produce collaborative works of art. They chose the name Brush Tu because it translates in Kiswahili as “Brush Only” or “Just Brush.” Members initially chose paints and brushes as their main means of expression. They might all have started off as painters but times change, talents develop, and now they produce photographs, sculptures, drawings and prints from their base in a Nairobi suburb while yes, some are staying loyal to paint on canvas.
