Ongata Line Sacco
Schizophrenic
$50.00
Schizophrenic — one of Ongata Line Sacco's most talked-about designs — earned its name from a livery that refused to settle on one identity. Split compositions, juxtaposed portraits, and fragmented lettering created a visual experience that shifted as the matatu moved through traffic. Dennis Muraguri's 2019 woodcut captures that multiplicity with a composition that rewards repeated viewing. The design reflects matatu culture's maximalist aesthetic — more is more, and a single theme is never enough. Schizophrenic embraced contradiction, pairing a serene female portrait with aggressive typography, soft gradients with hard edges. The result was a matatu that looked different from every angle. This reproduction is available in both the original and a square format. The A3 landscape version captures the full sprawl of the original design, making it ideal for a gallery wall or a collector focused on Nairobi's most extreme matatu artworks.
