For the 2024 edition of The Armory Show, Fridman Gallery is honored to present new works by Wura-Natasha Ogunji.
Wura-Natasha Ogunji works in drawing, painting, performance, and video. In many of her drawings Ogunji explores water as architecture - lagoons rendered in ink, stitched lines of a river, or the empty space of the paper itself (an imagined expanse of sea). Ogunji's work often develops around language and speaks about her experiences living in Lagos, Nigeria - from the personal notes in her father's dream journals to the collective interactions in busy market spaces. As the artist creates, titles emerge and become the structure determining the form of the pieces. Her use of materials and methods is also informed by her performance practice.
