The first retrospective of legendary Nigerian artist Bruce Onobrakpeya — and the first time his work is shown in San Diego — will be on view at San Diego State University in an exhibition and program with playwright and Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka.
Working as a studio artist for over 60 years, Nigerian artist Bruce Onobrakpeya is driven by curiosity.
Ekundayo is currently in San Diego and has gathered 39 works to serve as the first retrospective of Onobrakpeya's career, which will be on view at the University Art Gallery at San Diego State University beginning Feb. 18 through Mar. 17, 2022. "Everybody pretty much knew Bruce Onobrakpeya, especially when you're invested in the arts. He's literally a household name," Ekundayo said.Bruce Onobrakpeya's"Martyrdom of the Ogoni Nine," 2007; acrylic on triptilinen; 45 x 33 inches. The work will be shown in"Bruce Onobrakpeya: Idi Owena," opening Feb. 18, 2022.
The plastograph and additive plastograph techniques were developed by Onobrakpeya during his studio career and are new forms of etching or engraving images, which he calls plastocasts or plastographs. Ivorex is a practice that achieves the appearance of carvings or engravings on ivory, but uses a polymer material.Bruce Onobrakpeya's"Thanksgiving Dance VI," 2015/2020; plastocast painting; 61 x 79 inches. The work will be on view at SDSU's University Art Gallery beginning Feb.
"I believe it is very important for emerging student-artists to see the many changes and transformations artists go through in their career. They experiment with many materials, techniques, and explore different subject matter," Ozkal said."This exhibition encompasses Onobrakpeya's work in various mediums and techniques over the past sixty years. Each piece is distinct but at the same time there is a strong sense of belongingness.
