‘If Walls Could Speak,’ a debut exhibition by one of Nigeria’s promising emerging artists, Patrick Akpojotor, will be open to the public from September 16 to November 8.
“Akpojotor’s works stimulate us to a refreshing experience of the artist’s intuition, childhood, the search of identity, adventure and romance with space,” said Jerry Buhari, art critic and Professor of Fine Arts at Ahmadu Bello University.Bruce Onobrakpeya, a pioneer of Nigeria’s contemporary art scene, said he feels fulfilled having watched and mentored Akpojotor over a span of 15 years.
In his works, Akpojotor explores how architecture and the environment influence individual and collective identities. Growing up in Lagos, the artist said he was fascinated by the names of streets and buildings, and started playing with the personification of abandoned buildings which harbour silent memories of forgotten people and historic events.
