OBINNA MAKATA
Born in 1981 in Enugu, Obinna Makata started practising art at an early age. He uses fabric as a metaphor for cultural identity and evolving social values. His works create narrative associations that deal with quotidien issues in contemporary Nigerian society, including visa queues, abortions, and crowded work environments. Crudely sketched with ink and acrylic, Makata combines scraps of Ankara fabric to form the bodies and backgrounds of his figures. Makata graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 2007, where he majored in sculpture.
