Hello and thanks for visiting Mammypi today. It’s always a pleasure having you on the blog. Today, I’ll be telling you all about an awesome, artistic experience I had last week in a multidimensional space where a variety of thoughts and ideas coexist.
Last Thursday in the company of some magnificent group of artist all flown in from Nigeria by Andrew Lacey, founder & owner of Lacey Contemporary Gallery situated in Holland Park quiet neighbourhood in association with Aabru Art. “Transcending Boundaries” was back for its third year. The exhibition featured exceptional never-before-seen artworks by 34 artists.

AM1_5945I had the privilege to quiz the thought provoking artist Emenike Ogwo to find out what inspired his painting. Standing in front of “Water Scarcity” the artist asked me  a simple question. “Do you know the name of the location where the Chibok girls where abducted”? My response was a shameful No! The artist takes a pause, and educates me on the geography surrounding the missing Chibok girls and how the piece is a Portrayal of a real-life observation and what inspires him. The canvas tells the story of the few girls who managed to flee Boko Haram in the Sambisa forest.

Guest at the event were treated to so some fine champagne as  the artist immersed the viewer in a total experience of influences,imagery,use of colour & subject matter. If you are an art lover or collector, to own the work of the artist which ranges from anything from £2050 and above and well worth the price, Lacey Contemporary Gallery is your one-stop shop. The exclusive event was curated by Aabru art founder Anshu Bahanda and is on display at Lacey Contemporary Gallery until 11th May 2015. There is also an African fusion fashion event at the gallery on Saturday 9th May.
