Curated by Art Historian and Curator Naomi Edobor at KOOP Projects, Brighton. "Sapele Neon Boy," a solo exhibition featuring the works of Joshua Uvieghara, explores his artistic journey while paying homage to his dual heritage. The exhibition opens on September 23, 2023, and will run until October 14, 2023.
Joshua Uvieghara approaches painting with a visionary perspective that revolves around the interplay of colour and the materiality of paint. His creative process involves extracting structures from personal anecdotes and childhood recollections, allowing subjects to emerge organically. Uvieghara's fascination lies in the visual potential of painting, constructing works that invoke perceptions of time and duration akin to cinematic concepts.
