Jimmy, stylised as G’me, lives and paints in Malawi. Originally from Kasungu, he has lived in Lilongwe for most of his life. He began painting at the age of eleven, with a keen interest in portraits and land scapes, and occasionally abstracts. He works full-time as a freelance artist, working to commission or selling through galleries and exhibitions and also he is one of Art in the Park event team based in Lilongwe. Jimmy lives in Lilongwe with his wife and three children.
Working usually with palette knives in oils and acrylics and charcoal, graphite pencils, water color,
Jimmy’s art often captures the majesty of Malawi’s landscapes. A master of light, he casts ordinary people going about their work as his broad strokes craft lyrical settings around them.
By turns expressive and ambiguous, his portraits speak to the dynamic diversity of human condition. Often laced with humour or melancholy, his careful palettes evoke the interplay of a range of emotions, underpinned by technical excellence and flair.
