"These works are a visual journal of introspection on the economy of language with reference to its universal implication and inferences."
Kanbi Projects in collaboration with AMG Projects is pleased to present Elegy of the wind, a solo exhibition of works by Canada-based Nigerian artist Chukwudubem Ukaigwe.
Elegy of the wind is a poetic self-reflection, an introspective observation of the human condition and the economy of language with reference to its universal implication and inferences. The works in the exhibition function as stand-alone essays or compositions covering a wide range of subject matter: modernity, global imperialism, migration, consumerism, global warming to mention a few. However, consistent across the works is Ukaigwe's questioning of mark- making through an active now developed visual style: the questioning of mark making through an active covering up and revelation of multiple layers of paintings, drawings and truths.
