Summary |
Purchased with support from The Cleophus Thomas Jr. and Carla Thomas Library for the Study of African American Art Fund A Matter of Fact, An Exhibition presented by the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD), showcases Toyin Ojih Odutola's mesmerizing portraits of the fictional UmuEze Amara Clan. Ojih Odutola invites us to consider the social construct of class within the intersection of race, identity, sexuality, and gender through conceptual portraiture. In her vibrant depictions of imagined Nigerian aristocracy, rendered in charcoal and pastel, Ojih Odutola explores scale, patterns, and color to present characters who distinctly occupy their affluent, lavish space. |
