Kalule Herbert Albert Kasule, known in the art world simply as "Kalule," is a gifted Ugandan artist who embarked on his creative journey at the esteemed Afriart gallery in 2003, right after completing his formal education. Mesmerized by the artistic wonders surrounding him, he began experimenting and honing his skills, eventually blossoming into a remarkable self-taught artist. A mere year later, he accomplished a significant milestone by selling his very first painting.

Fabric serves as Kalule's canvas of choice, and through his tie and dye painting technique, he expertly weaves symbols of yesteryears into the tapestry of the modern era.

Today, Kalule's studio stands in Wakiso, Uganda, where his work is fueled by the rich tapestry of social activities surrounding both male and female human experiences. Moreover, he skillfully crafts total colorful abstracts, each narrating the remarkable journey of African cotton fabrics, imprinted and adorned through his tie and dye techniques.

The symbols depicted in Kalule's art are drawn from the depths of African traditions, a bridge between the past and the present, reflecting the unending cycle of life and change.

His illustrious career is further highlighted by numerous solo and group exhibitions, showcasing his extraordinary talent to the world. Since 2011, Kalule has been an integral part of the esteemed Umoja Art Gallery, contributing to its vibrant artistic community.
