OVERVIEW
202 Gallery is proud to present its debut exhibition, Vessels, a showcase of 37 works, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures by eight emerging artists from Nigeria and Ghana. This thoughtfully curated exhibition explores themes of identity, spirituality, culture, and the human experience, showcasing fresh perspectives from Adeniyi Adewole, Gedepresunpre Agorsor, Igbobinna Eze, Israel Fatola, Yewande Ambeke, James Adebayo, Joseph Oluwasegun, and Mubaraq Yusuf.
Adeniyi Adewole’s compelling fibreglass sculptures are rooted in African spirituality and cosmology. They reflect on the strength of the human spirit and the importance of community ties.
Igbobinna Eze, Israel Fatola, and Yewande Ambeke blend figuration and abstraction to examine the complexities of human emotions, cultural identity, and the evolving nature of existence.
James Adebayo’s work is influenced by his experience of double vision, offering a distinctive interpretation of the world. Joseph Oluwasegun fuses traditional and digital techniques to explore identity, purpose, and self-acceptance themes. Meanwhile, Mubaraq Yusuf and Gedepresunpre Agorsor draw inspiration from African history and expressions of identity, celebrating the resilience and beauty of the African spirit.
Vessels is not just a display of individual talent; it reflects the mission of 202 Gallery—to provide a platform for emerging and underrepresented artists while connecting them with a global audience
