What Will I Do With All This Freedom?
Eyenga Bokamba is an artist who is most drawn to abstraction as a means of expressing her perceptions of complex realities. Her work has been widely collected by public libraries, universities, and private buyers who value the spacious expansiveness and luminosity of her creations. Her large-scale paintings utilize acrylic, calligrapher’s ink, and mixed media to create layers of translucence. In her latest body of work, the abstracted figure emerges, giving rise to a new visual language of gesture and movement. Eyenga holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota and a graduate degree from Harvard University. As a recent member of NAWA, she will be featured in a solo show at NAWA’s Gallery in June.
Opening reception: Thursday, June 7, 5-7:30pm
