SMO Contemporary Art’s presentation for ART X Lagos 2025 brings together five artists: Victor Butler, Somi Nwandu, Manyaku Mashilo, Adeniyi Adewole, and Ofunne Azinge,whose practices expand the idea of time. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, they create visual languages that negotiate time, identity, healing, and belonging. Each artist, in their own way, reimagines how time connects us: as history, as inheritance, as motion, and as renewal.
Together, these artists form a constellation of reflection and renewal: Butler teaches us to trust time, Nwandu teaches us to rewrite language. Mashilo teaches us to walk between worlds,
Their works remind us that to reflect on time is not to resist its flow but to move with it, to recognize the quiet power of becoming, remembering, and imagining anew.
“Reflections on Time” is a collective meditation on endurance and transformation; a celebration of the artists who continue to dream, to listen, and to build.
