LAWSON OYEKAN EXHIBITION
1st November 2024 10:00am – 16th March 2025 4:00pm
This exhibition highlights the work of British-Nigerian sculptor Lawson Oyekan (b. 1961), known for his powerful ceramic sculptures that reflect on the human experience. His large, thin-walled vessels, marked with scar-like patterns, are both robust and delicate, echoing the ancient spiritual traditions of the Benue Valley.
Oyekan’s practice is deeply influenced by his surroundings, using local clays from the places he visits. Describing himself as a nomadic artist, he hand-builds and inscribes his sculptures in English and Yoruba, drawing inspiration from the landscapes, people, and stories he encounters.
This solo exhibition, Oyekan’s first in a UK public institution in nearly two decades, brings together key works from his career and offers a rare insight into his creative process through a newly commissioned film by acclaimed French photographer Zavier Lambours.
The exhibition was created in partnership with Cross Lane Projects, Kendal, and Maison Gallery 19 Paul Fort, Paris.
Location: Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house, Bowness-on-Windermere, LA23 3JT
Tickets: £6.00-£30.00
