Private View - Join Us For Drinks Thursday 14th November, 6pm to 9pm We are thrilled to announce our second exhibition this month, “BECOMING”, a solo show by the talented Nigerian artist Maduka Emmanuel Onyebuchi. “BECOMING” marks Maduka’s debut solo exhibition, showcasing an exclusive collection of brand-new works created specifically for this occasion. Known for his striking hyperrealistic style, Maduka has captivated collectors and visitors alike in both Nigerian and the United States in group exhibitions, including previous shows at our gallery. In this latest body of work, Maduka explores his personal journey, reflecting on the pivotal experiences that have shaped him over time. In each piece, he assigns a crown or halo to his subjects, elevating them as Queens and Kings, symbolizing his belief that everyone possesses an inherent uniqueness and strength. Through these works, he emphasizes that each individual has the power to shape their destiny, confronting life’s challenges and striving relentlessly to carve out their own future.
