Eva Obodo's recent art exhibition at the kó gallery in Lagos showcased his works in textile art, which explore various aspects of social life in Nigeria. Obodo, a contemporary Nigerian artist and sculptor, incorporates techniques such as tying, stretching, and twisting materials to create extraordinary pieces. His works address social and political issues in postcolonial Africa, using materials like jute, fabric, and charcoal. The exhibition reflects the artist's sensitivity to the socio-political climate in Nigeria, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Obodo's works challenge viewers to reflect on leadership challenges and the need for credibility, competence, and courage in society. [Extracted from the article]
