Fred Mutebi-Artist

Fred Mutebi uses "...a vibrant array of colors, he creates woodcut prints that depict stories about critical social events in Uganda or that portray images indigenous to the Ugandan environment. The works are made even more authentic by his use of a special technique called the “progressive reduction method”, which prevents the production of more than ten woodcut prints of the same composition..." artists website

Ugandan artist Fred Mutebi has established himself as a premier international artist and compassionate humanitarian. His mastery of the primitive art of woodcut printmaking has earned him global acclaim and recognition. He has exhibited his distinctive woodcut prints in galleries all over the world.

He is the founder and Executive Director of Let Art Talk. The organization uses art as an educational tool to teach underprivileged and vulnerable children and communities in Uganda. They have gained recent accolades for their program in the warn-torn town of Gulu in northern Uganda.
