Bright Ugochukwu Eke
Heavy Clouds references the impact of human interference on the natural environment. The exploitation and over-dependence on natural resources and the production and consumption of toxic materials have continued to cause environmental harm and pollution.
Bright Eke's medium is water, which links all humans and their environments. He is captivated by water and its capacity to confront worldwide, human and environmental challenges. The artist delves into the historical and contemporary relevance of water to culture, society, politics and economics, examining its impact on both society and the physical environment.
Bright Eke obtained his MFA from the University of Nigeria, where he studied with El Anatsui. He has shown internationally, including in the exhibitions Environment & Object: Recent African Art at the Tang Museum, Skidmore College, and Global Africa Project at the Museum of Art & Design, New York.
