AdaObinna Moore's debut exhibit will remain on view at Streetlight Guild through March 18.
AdaObinna Moore has never been to Nigeria, yet the bold acrylic paintings of the young artist speak of the people and lore of her ancestral country.
“I concentrated on creating faces during my last semester of college,” Moore said. “I became at peace with who I am and where I come from.”Forty of her works are on view through March 18 in the exhibit “IJOMAH: The Journey of ADAOBI” at Streetlight Guild on the Near East Side. The exhibit, on the second floor of the nonprofit art and event space, includes paintings ranging in size from 4 by 6 feet to 4 by 4 inches.
