SMO Contemporary Art is delighted to curate the walls of L’Ori Hospitality Ltd., as a wonderful way of fusing gastronomic artistry with visual creativity. Throughout history, fine dining and art have always been perfect companions. SMO has successfully placed art in non-traditional spaces for many years, showcasing the best of creativity from across the African continent and the Diaspora.
For the opening of L’Ori, we present CELEBRATION, an exhibition showcasing works by fifteen African artists from Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Cameroon, South Africa, the United States, France & Switzerland. The works explore creativity across diverse mediums including textile, wood, metal, lenticular and mixed media, and sculptural forms in bronze, ceramic, wood, and fiberglass, created by both master artists and emerging talent, we have also included some rare works from a private collection in Lagos, to deepen the presentation.
