Light to Shad­ow, Shad­ow to Light

Light to Shad­ow, Shad­ow to Light is a series of oil paint­ings expound­ing on the rela­tion­ship between the con­scious and sub­con­scious mind. Artist Fidelis Izekor uses shad­ows and fash­ion aes­thet­ics to sym­bol­ize indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and self-aware­ness, while apply­ing the tech­niques of West-African pat­tern­ing as a means of storytelling.

On view Sep­tem­ber 12 – 202026.
