Having exhibited to great acclaim across his home country of Nigeria, the US and the UK, Oliver Enwonwu’s upcoming show at Lilford Framing Gallery Pop Up is causing great excitement!

Oliver Enwonwu’s art interrogates the complex layers of history between the African continent and the West. Through portraiture, Enwonwu addresses the near absence of Black figures in Western accounts of art history. Co-opting the visual language and painting techniques of the Old Masters, Enwonwu imbues his figures with an air of power, regality, and pride, attempting to make up for an absence of such portraits within the Western canon.

 Enwonwu will be exhibiting selected works at Lilford Gallery from the 4th to the 9th of October.

This is a FREE admission event.
