Artist Short Bio

 

Hillary Uzomba (Nigeria).

                             

 

Hillary Uzomba is an artist whose works explore the relationship between self and space. I am drawn to the intricacies of lines, and the imaginative realities of being. I work mostly in two dimensions: paintings, drawings, and digital art. I seek to balance the duality between art and life using different varieties of mediums to tell everyday stories. Over the past 7 years, I have exhibited in many cities in Nigeria Including Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Owerri, and the Delta.

 

In April of 2017, I had a solo show in collaboration with the Alliance France cultural institute headquarters in Lagos, at the Moore-House gallery Ikoyi. I have exhibited with the Institute for Cultural Development Abuja, in collaboration with the American embassy. Attended the 17th Hammarttan workshop sponsored by SHELL SPDC in collaboration with BOF. I currently live and practice Art in Nigeria, and show anywhere the art calls. My works are in many international private collections as well as in many private collections in Nigeria, and the collection of Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe. (The Obi of Onitsha)

My current body of work intertwines between being and the multiversity of the human experience.
