Description
Recovered Energies presents mixed media pieces crafted from everyday waste and natural products by Nigerian artist, Nnenna Okore. Okore reimagines newspaper, rope, clay, plastic and wax converting society's detritus into works of beauty and sophistication. The power of her works caused one reviewer to comment that Okore is "one of the most exciting and innovative artists working with the genre of urban recyclia." Giles Peppiatt the Head of African Art at Bonham's Auction House in London commented about one of Okore's works that "[t]his particular work. . . is a bridge between Africa's ritual art tradition and a modern contemporary sensibility. It is proof that today Africa is at the forefront of the most exciting developments in contemporary art."Nnenna Okore will attend the opening reception.
