🎨#ArtIsAWeapon "Marsha, 2021." Oil on canvas. #Artist @peter_uka Peter Uka Courtesy of Mariane Ibrahim @marianeibrahimgallery (reposted) #CHICAGO Upcoming Exhibition Peter Uka: Longing November 13 - December 18, 2021 Mariane Ibrahim Gallery 437 N Paulina St, Chicago, IL 60622 We are pleased to announce the gallery's inaugural exhibition with Peter Uka. The show marks the artist's first show with the gallery and in the United States... Novelist Zadie Smith commented that “historical nostalgia” was a sentiment not “available” to black people: “I can’t go back to the fifties because life in the fifties for me is not pretty, nor is it pretty in 1320 or 1460 or 1580 or 1820 or even 1960 in this country, very frankly.” The large-scale oil paintings exude notions of nostalgia, a gaze on spaces long forgotten. The works timeless ability arise from a query, how do we document a history that was unwritten, and only told orally? Of historical memories recounted and not crystallized. Moments in time are captured, each representing a chamber of reflection, all solely painted from memory. Peter Uka, Marsha, 2021. Oil on canvas. 70 7/8 x 70 7/8 in, 180 x 180 cm.
