(10 June – 16 July, 2022) Grappling with ideas around gender, cultural heritage and race, Nengi Omuku’s practice explores the complexities of identity, focusing on interior psychological spaces and how they manifest within the physical world. Rendered in oil paint on strips of sanyan – a traditional Nigerian fabric used for draped clothing – Omuku creates ethereal scenes of figures in constant flux, interacting with one another and the landscape around them. Inspired by both archival and current images taken from the Nigerian press and media, she creates worlds in which the distinction between bodies and nature is often blurred, reflecting on the intricacies around navigating place and belonging.
(6 May – 4 June, 2022) Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is pleased to present Where cloudy waters collide, a multimedia group exhibition exploring notions of rootedness, opacity, and sociocultural relation.
