An exhibition featuring works from two artists alongside each other, The Weight of Us, at Corey Helford Gallery in Los Angeles, brings together the compelling visions of Nigerian contemporary artists Arinze Stanley and Oscar Ukonu in an intricate dialogue that explores the depths of shared humanity, emotional interconnectedness, and individual and collective narratives.
Stanely’s works were previously featured in Highbrow Magazine.
Ukonu’s intricate ballpoint pen drawings command the viewer’s attention with striking monochromatic blue hues, emphasizing sociocultural dialogue around collective identity, and existential interconnectedness.
The artist’s work intricately dissects how media narratives, historical context, and contemporary sociopolitical currents shape perceptions of the self and community.
