Biography
"There is always a need for artistic solutions. Whatever the problem is, it is up to you as an artist to come up with ways of how to solve it without limiting yourself."
Allan 'Think' Kioko is a visual artist, illustrator and muralist based in Nairobi, Kenya. 
He is an expressive painter and a lover of bold strokes, color and texture. His artwork is done using acrylic on canvas and watercolor on paper, deemed as thought provoking, humorous and sometimes controversial. He draws inspiration from his own life experiences and places he's been to.
Kioko is famous also for his mural paintings around Nairobi's low income areas of Mathare, Korogocho, Baba Dogo among others, with his new graffiti crew 'Clan of A Can'.
