Omenka Gallery supported by Nikon is to present an exhibition of recent photographs by leading contemporary Nigerian artist, Uche James‐Iroha.
Uche James‐Iroha born in 1972, studied Sculpture at the University of Port Harcourt.
The exhibition tagged "Power and Powers" will be used as a self-exammination and as a introspective of 54 years of epileptic power supply in Nigeria.The exhibition is expected to start on November 8th, 2014.
According to the artist,
“These are images that explore the dark and unprogressive romance between political power and electrical power distribution in Nigeria. By far the most populous nation in the continent with vast human and material resources and enormous potential, electricity is still a big issue.
Marred by erratic power supply, the nation is caught in the web of deceit where political office seekers clearly use the promise of ‘light ‘as the most effective bait. It is interesting to know that tons of white elephant projects which include a cashless economic system and automated rail transport, are in the works gulping mammoth budgets and will all depend on an efficient electrical supply system.”
