Nengi Omuku: The Dance of People and the Natural World
This Summer, journey into the lush landscapes of Nigerian artist Nengi Omuku鈥榮 exhibition The Dance of People and the Natural World at Arnolfini.
Omuku鈥檚 human figures blend seamlessly with nature, exploring the relationship between individual and collective thought, belonging, and psychological spaces that transcend traditional Western landscape painting.
Featuring the monumental work Eden and new additions such as Quorum and Rumours of War, The Dance of People and the Natural World brings together pieces first shown at Hastings Contemporary in 2023.
Omuku鈥檚 rich, dreamlike color palette is heavily influenced by the muted tones of Sanyan, a pre-colonial Nigerian textile woven from moth silk and cotton, blending Western oil painting traditions with Nigeria鈥檚 textile craftsmanship.
