ART + WINE + CHEESE: Local Artist Sensation VICTOR EKPUK (Nigerian b. 1964) at Nepenthe Gallery
This is a blockbuster moment at Nepenthe Gallery as we welcome VICTOR EKPUK to share his artworks and his vast experiences. Victor is an internationally renowned artist who lives about one mile and a half from Nepenthe and whose studio is in Washington, D.C. He is celebrated for his diverse portfolio that spans paintings, drawings, sculptures, illustrations and monumental public art. Drawing inspiration from *Nsibidi”—-an indigenous ideographic script of southeastern Nigeria, his art functions as a visual language that bridges the gap between historical tradition and modern abstraction. Each piece is as fantastic as the next and we are overjoyed to partner with this multimedia artist whose works and career are destined to become legendary.
