Francis Xavier Ifee

Francis Xavier Ifee is one of the few Northern-Ugandan artist, born 1961 in Moyo, a savanna region. Trained in Makerere University, Kampala, he brilliantly concluded his studies. He intends to continue his academic career.

It is a surprise to discover his very detailed transparent technique, mostly oil on canvas or board. His surrealistic motives depict fantastic creatures in dramatic landscapes, as an intended statement about nature's deterioration. The viewer's first impression will be one of harmony in form and colour but a closer look will reveal the artist's deep social criticism.
