TOWARDS THE LIGHT IS AN EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS BY IBE ANANABA GROUNDED IN A MUSICAL TRACK WHICH ENCAPSULATES THE RHYTHM OF A GENERATION SEEKING ANSWERS TO FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS ABOUT IDENTITY AND EQUALITY, DEMOCRACY, RACISM AND THE RIGHT TO CHOICE AND GOOD GOVERNANCE.
ANANABA RENDERS HIS SUBJECTS WITH DEFT IMPRESSIONISTIC BRUSHSTROKES, ECHOING COLORFUL MEMORIES OF A LIBERATED TIME, DRAWING US INTO RARELY VISITED INTERNAL SPACES, EXPERIENCING RENEWED JOY AND PEACE AWAY FROM THE RUSH OF OUR NOISY, COMPLEX LIVES. WITH EACH PORTRAIT, WE ENJOY AN INNER REVERIE, WHICH THE ARTIST REMINDS US, WE NEED TO GUARD AND FIND SOLACE IN.
