The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to present Peter Uka: Remembrance, the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York, on view March 12-June 4, 2022, on the 10th floor. Born in 1975 in Nigeria’s Benue State and based in Cologne, Germany, Uka paints large-scale portraits and group scenes that draw inspiration from childhood memories, including 70s-era fashion and hairstyles, wallpaper patterns, and dance moves. Elucidating the richness and joyfulness in both the solitary and shared moments of Black life, the artist offers a counternarrative to outmoded perceptions of both his home country and non-Western culture at large. A text by artist and curator Folakunle Oshun will accompany the exhibition.
