Exhibition | Nengi Omuku, 'We Were Like Those Who Dreamed' at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London, United Kingdom

Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in London presents 'We Were Like Those Who Dreamed,' the second solo exhibition by Nigerian artist Nengi Omuku. The show features new paintings that explore the politics of green spaces in urban centers, particularly Lagos, where rapid urbanization has created a 'concrete jungle.' Omuku transposes figures from contemporary and archival images of Lagos into lush, Impressionistic landscapes painted with pointillist brushstrokes and a Fauvist palette, using the garden as a radical symbol of equality and resistance. She paints on sanyan, a hand-spun Yoruba cloth, working with local artisans in Ilorin to revive the tradition. Works like 'Dream Logic' and 'One Particular Man' address socio-economic tensions, while 'A quiet nation' captures the dichotomy between urban Brutalist architecture and natural foliage.

Comment | Trims to Sotheby's African Modern and contemporary art department are just one unwelcome sign for this previously healthy market

Sotheby's has disbanded its dedicated African Modern and contemporary art department, a move that comes as auction sales in the category plummeted 45% in 2024 to $43.9 million, according to an ArtTactic report. The department, launched in 2016 with specialist Hannah O'Leary from Bonhams, was a major boost for the sector, but its small sales totals made it vulnerable during Sotheby's wider cost-cutting. O'Leary will now integrate African art into broader contemporary and Modern auctions, while other houses like Bonhams and Strauss continue to hold dedicated sales, focusing increasingly on 20th-century artists.
