Thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening of “I’M NOT GOVERNED BY MY FLESH” during the Lagos Art week. It has been wonderful welcoming you to the gallery and seeing you engage with the artist’s works. Curated by @anelisamangcu , The subjects in this body of work are delicate and restful, yet undeniably powerful. They carry the duality of fragility and endurance, which is the paradox of being both vessel and source. These figures are not representations in the Western sense, but embodiments; they carry within them the texture of myth and memory. For more information,press or catalogue request; please contact [email protected] The gallery is open from Tuesday - Saturday 11am - 6pm #Affinitygallery #Lulamawolf #I’mNotGovernedByMyFlesh #Curatedbyanelisamangcu
