(19)注脚Born in Nigeria in 1933, Uche Okeke was a founding member of the Zaria Art Society, a group of academically trained experimental artists who synthesized Western media such as oil paint, pastel, pen and ink, with African content.

Okeke spent the majority of his career in Africa, teaching until the late 1980s at the University of Nigeria at Nsukka. The result is art that, without looking specifically ethnic, is thoroughly and consciously African in its references.

This array of works on paper date from the late 1950s, when Okeke was still at art school, right through to the mid 1970s. The collection demonstrates the artist's versatility, including watercolor landscape sketches, fantastical ink drawings derived from folklore, and portraits that incorporate elements of ancient Nigerian Nok sculpture.

Diverse in medium, the works all display Okeke's characteristic curvilinear abstract patterns. This aesthetic was heavily inspired by the long tradition of Igbo body painting in Southern Nigeria.
