Kipkemoi is a self-taught acrylic painter located in Los Angeles. With a background spanning Germany, Kenya, and the US, he channels his diasporic sensibility in search of a sense of belonging and an emotional connection to the idea of “home”. Through his monochromatic portraits and afro-futuristic compositions he looks past our stories and instead focuses on our collective humanity and universally shared emotions.

Kip’s work has garnered recognition as an artist-in-residence at the Libra Foundation (2020), a contributing artist for the LA Lakers In the Paint program (2023), earned the Billboard Creative Award (2024), and received the New Futures Award at The Other Art Fair (2025). He has exhibited his work nationwide, and most recently was featured and sold at Sotheby’s gallery in Los Angeles in 2025.
