Green Hair Look, 2021, Black Pen and Acrylic ink on Paper, 36 x 24 in
Bloom is a state of development and growth. It can also be translated as the state of freshness and beauty. The body of works in this exhibition interrogate the transient relationship between the youth of today and societal expectations.
Afrocentric , 2021, Charcoal and Acrylic on Paper, 25 X 20 in
Globalization and web 2.0 have led to the rapid spread of ideas beyond borders. Identity and societal roles are not solely anchored in tradition.
Presenting works based on portraiture, Bloom offers a glimpse into the transient landscape of life in the Niger-Delta and Douala.
