AFIKARIS is pleased to present the second solo exhibition at the gallery by Nigerian artist Ozioma Onuzulike.
A ceramic artist and poet, Onuzulike's work largely focuses on the historical and sociological roots of the political and socio-economic turmoil in Africa and their debilitating effects on daily living on the continent. He often explores the aesthetic, symbolic and metaphorical nature of clay (his basic material) and the clay-working processes – pounding, crushing, hammering, wedging, grinding, cutting, pinching, punching, perforating, burning, firing – in his making of the multiple units that characterise his mixed-media projects.
More information coming soon.
