Figures of Power

17th July – 24th Aug 2021 - Lagos

Identity Tones marked John Madu’s solo exhibition with Artyrama Gallery, exploring the layered complexities of identity in a globalized, postcolonial African context. Through a vibrant palette and textured figurative forms, Madu examined how personal and collective identities are constructed, masked, and reshaped by cultural memory, fashion, and popular iconography. The works in this series combine visual storytelling with symbolic objects, inviting viewers to reflect on the fluidity of identity in contemporary society.
