CHINEMEREM OMEH
SATURATED NOSTALGIA
JULY 18 - OCTOBER 18, 2022
EXHIBITION
Dab Art Co. is pleased to present SATURATED NOSTALGIA, a solo exhibition of works by Chinemerem Omeh. View the online exclusive SATURATED NOSTALGIA in its entirety on our collectors platform ARTSY (Jul 18 - Oct 18, 2022).
Omeh's work speaks of childhood, his early education and elements of his family, and how they affected him. He jogs down memory lane by digging up childhood pictures in a bid to resurrect feelings that had long been buried to bring his work to life. The work's large scale gives room for exploration as he deconstructs and reconstructs his childhood pictures. Through composition, space, tactile yet subtle textures, and an undoubted skill in draughtsmanship, Omeh, directs and entraps the viewer's eye by creating a perfect visual balance and a mental memory world. He invites viewers to relive his memories
Omeh Chinemerem is a Nigerian artist, born in Enugu, Nigeria. He holds a BA in fine and applied arts from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where he majored as a painter. Currently based in Atlanta, Georgia, US. Omeh started drawing and painting at the age of five. Unable to fully read and write, drawing naturally became a means to express himself. He found a voice and identity in drawing and painting. His yearning for change amidst harsh realities makes expressing pain, peace, depression, hope, deception, and love inevitable in his work. His artistic dispositions were met with dissuasion from peers, teachers, and his parent because to become an artist was an impossible way to earn a decent living. That dissuasion only made his love of art stronger and has informed it.
Private viewing rooms, artwork details and and collector acquisitions are available on ARTSY.
