Own this spectacular one-of-a-kind original oil painting, "Approaching the Night," by Onyeka Ibe.
Born in Nigeria and currently based in New York, Ibe graduated summa cum laude from the University of Benin, Nigeria. He continued his studies for an MFA at Georgia State University in Atlanta and the Pratt Institute of NY where he is currently based. His recent work uses indigenous forms and content in African art and architecture as a conceptual backdrop. Ibe uses earth colors, fragments of found objects and recycled paints to create multi-layered paintings.
Ibe has achieved international recognition for his dramatic approach to painting and is widely considered to be one of the most exciting young painters to emerge from Sub-Saharan Africa since the 1990s.
