In Sketches of Tomorrow, Solomon Mugutso invites us into a vibrant world of connection, resilience, and renewal. Mugutso uses figures — symbolic forms that transcend individuality to represent all of us. These are not portraits of people, but of humanity.

Each piece in this new body of work pulses with colour and meaning, telling stories of family, community, daily life, and emotional restoration. Through simplified figures and layered textures, Mugutso explores what it means to belong, to heal, and to hope — even in uncertain times.

While rooted in African experiences, the works speak to universal truths. The anonymity of the figures invites viewers to find themselves in the scene, to see their own stories reflected in the shared gestures of love, labour, and learning. These are visual fables — each with a narrative, a lesson, a spark.

Uplifting and deeply human, Sketches of Tomorrow is an exhibition of unity and forward-looking optimism. Mugutso reminds us that the future is not a distant place, but something we shape through connection, compassion, and collective effort.

This is not just an exhibition — it's an offering of hope.
