Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is excited to share that Nengi Omuku will have a solo exhibition at Hastings Contemporary, Nengi Omuku: The Dance of People and the Natural World, 7 October 2023 - 3 March 2024. Displaying more than ten pieces, including two new works, the show spans five of Hastings Contemporary’s eight galleries, and includes works made between 2021 and 2023 that explore Omuku’s love of nature and the ways in which it provides her with a sense of safety and serenity.
Looking ahead to the exhibition, Omuku says: 'It is a great privilege to have my first solo institutional exhibition at Hastings Contemporary, whose programme I have long admired for its far-reaching approach to painting. As a student at the Slade I dreamed of having a museum show in the UK, my home from home, and nowhere feels more fitting than Hastings Contemporary whose coastal location, for me, finds kinship with Lagos. The group of works presented focus on bringing love and light into the world, on concern for the environment and on sustainable practices to nurture and protect natural habitats.'
The gallery would like to extend thanks to the curators at Hastings Contemporary for making this possible.
