Artist Nnenna Okore returns to October Gallery, London for her second solo exhibition.
Okore continues to employ ordinary media like magazine and newspaper to highlight consumerism and excessive wastefulness in today’s society.
Along with the continued exploration of these themes in her work, Okore is also inspired by the concept of growth and metamorphosis.
Her sculptures explore rich earthly colours, textures and formations often resembling architectural structures and spaces. The application of various repetitive and labour-intensive techniques, like weaving, twisting, sewing, dyeing, waxing and rolling, only serve to further accentuate these elements and other visceral qualities embodied in these works.
