Women of Izzi Nnodo 1 - 2023
Collage on canvas | 80 x 100cm
From the Artist: "This piece captures the essence of the women from Izzi Nnodo, a community nestled in Ebonyi State, south eastern Nigeria. They are depicted in a moment of jubilation, their spirits soaring high. With melodic voices, they sing odes to the tireless toil and enduring patience of their farmers, from the hopeful sowing to the bountiful harvest. Their dance is a rhythmic tribute to the earth's generosity, celebrating the cherished Feast of Ojiji, a time when the first yams are joyously welcomed. It's a visual hymn to tradition, a dance of gratitude woven into the fabric of life."
From the Curator: "We are captivated by the artist's ability to convey movement in this mixed media work. The profiles of figures dressed in traditional attire are compelling, with headwraps and garments depicted in vibrant blues and intricate patterns that add depth and texture. The floating effect of the clothing brings the piece to life. The interaction depicted further enriches the scene, inviting us to delve into the emotion Izzi Nnodo share."
