Nigerian artist, Chinze Anthony-Ojobo, showcases ‘The Torn Tapestry’ exhibition in London

Nigerian contemporary artist, Chinze Anthony-Ojobo, says her forthcoming exhibition tagged, ‘The Torn Tapestry”, is aimed at shedding light on the devastating effects of war and the resilience of those affected by conflict.

Anthony-Ojobo, who is the President of the Female Artists Association in Nigeria (FEAAN), said this in a statement on Friday in Lagos.

She said that the exhibition, which will hold at The Thames-Side Studios in London, underscored her personal and social mission to promote global peace, and reconciliation.

“Through The Torn Tapestry, I want to highlight the scars left by war and how through collective healing, we can mend the fractures in our societies.

“Art has the power to tell stories of pain, survival, and hope.

“This exhibition is my contribution to the conversation on peace and reconciliation,” she said.

BRANDECONOMY reports that the artist is known for her commitment to using art as a platform for advocacy, particularly for issues affecting women and children

Using torn and distressed materials, the artist crafts symbolic representations of emotional and physical scars borne by war survivors.

Torn fabrics, frayed materials and layered embroidery serve as metaphors for trauma, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for healing.

With her signature use of jute, acrylics, and traditional African textiles, she further enhances the depth and texture of her powerful compositions.

Her works have been collected by prominent figures, including Pastor Ron Kenoly, and financial educator, Robert Kiyosaki.

Her works have also served as presidential gifts presented by the Nigerian government.
