Bhupendra Jethwa widely recognized as WiseTwo, is a Kenyan Multi-Disciplinary Artist whose
journey into the world of street art and graffiti commenced in the streets of Nairobi, particularly
in the high-density areas of Kibera and Jericho. The moniker WiseTwo a self-bestowed title,
derives from the word โwisdomโ while maintaining humility, symbolized by the appended โtwoโ
signifying the acknowledgment that โnot everyone can be the Wise One.โ
With a foundation in international studies and over 13 years of immersive experience through
participation and observation, WiseTwo embarked on a nomadic artistic journey around the
world in 2012, leaving his creative imprint in over 18 countries. Presently situated in Nairobi,
Kenya, WiseTwoโs inquisitive nature and thirst for exploration have facilitated a seamless bridge
between diverse art worlds, from traditional to contemporary influences. His extensive body of
work encompasses watercolours, paintings, and large-scale murals, all interwoven by a universal
thread that transcends the myriad masks he paints, fostering a connection that unites humanity.
Within this artistic venture unfolds a personal odyssey-a delicate balance between ancient and
modern realms, harmonised through intricate colour palettes and masks that encapsulate entire
universes. Each artwork evokes a psychedelic trance, prompting profound contemplation on life,
existence, culture, race, wisdom, knowledge, representation, identity, and inclusion.
WiseTwoโs narratives and perspectives revolve around the theme of balance-a world shaped by
impulses and meditations, joy and pain, language and symbols, art and science, life and death.
His massive murals grace walls across the globe, some residing in private collections, while
others find homes in intimate, site-specific locations.
The artistโs portfolio extends to various private and public collections, including notable spaces
such as Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, USA, Converse Head Offices in Mexico City,
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Michael Goldstein Law Offices in Los Angeles,
United Nations offices in Zurich and the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) in
Nairobi.
