In
One Plus One...The Infinity of Possibilities, Uche Edochie
puts together a visually exciting range of works that strike a perfect
balance between colors and symbols. The human face becomes a tapestry
for inscribing motifs that are both decorative and mystical. On
the one hand, Edochie's random yet controlled inscription alludes
to the traditional practice of using the skin as a versatile canvas
for decorative composition, communicative intent, and for accentuating
women's senusuality. Simultaneously, he presents the face as the
appropriate arena within which to launch a complex discourse about
revealed and hidden dimensions of human personality. The faces we
encounter speak of faces as mirrors of feelings. But at the same
time, these faces with deep fissures and sewn together parts, are
masks that could skillfully mislead by deliberately concealing true
feeling.
