Sculpture, often overshadowed by painting and other visual arts, is taking center stage once again in Nigerian art. BIG Sculpture: An Anthology of Contemporary Nigerian Sculpture brings together a diverse range of sculptors across three generations, spotlighting the brilliance and depth of sculptural practice.
Curated by Aliyu Umar and Mathew Oyedele, this landmark group exhibition showcases the works of 17 sculptors, each making groundbreaking strides in the medium. The exhibit features established and emerging artists, bridging generations of creative talent.
From large-scale metalworks to intricate wooden carvings, BIG Sculpture reflects the dynamic and evolving landscape of Nigerian art. With each piece telling a unique story, the exhibition underscores sculpture's place as a vital form of artistic expression, exploring themes ranging from tradition and identity to contemporary social issues.
The show aims to not only celebrate these extraordinary artists but also to shift attention back to sculpture's crucial role in Nigerian art history. By doing so, it reaffirms the importance of this tactile art form in shaping cultural narratives and artistic legacies.
