https://padlet.com/nonyeikegwuoha/About A Manhattan artist with strong ties to Africa, Nonye Ikegwuoha counts ancient African art in diaspora and Indigenous African architecture among his enduring interests. He views African art as a metaphorical “exorcism,” which manifests personal “fears, tormentors, demons, and terrors” to better address and cope with them. Educated in Nigeria at the University of Lagos, Nonye Ikegwuoha has both a bachelor of environmental sciences and a bachelor of architecture. Although he has been working as an artist in New York City for over six years, Nonye Ikegwuoha has exhibited his artwork in Nigeria for many years. His work in architecture both in Nigeria as well as China have involved schematics, design and construction for private and public structures. Some of the site construction work are ongoing in Abuja, Nigeria. Both in his art and architecture, he is committed to environmental sustainability, conservation and energy efficiency. Many of his recent schematic and ongoing architectural projects rely on the important relationship between the natural as well as man-made elements as the starting point of the developments. en-us 2021-01-05 09:53:59 UTC 2021-05-25 01:39:00 UTC hello@padlet.com nonyeikegwuoha https://padlet.com/nonyeikegwuoha/About/wish/1555887939 For more than six years, Nonye Ikegwuoha has created art from his New York City studio.
