African visual artist, Wande Oseni explores femininity through contemporary expressionism. Her works are a representation of her thoughts, opinions and commentary on social issues occurring globally and around her home country of Kyrgyzstan. Her first solo exhibition in Moscow, she has been exhibiting in Moscow since 1997.In her most recent show, she continued her dialogue with the external world by using a more personal means, this time by making personal portraits. The works on paper are not based on photographs of the artist but rather on drawings and photographs of her mother. The subjects are not recognizable, but are, nevertheless, recognizable as the artists mothers. The subjects include such things as a mother holding a baby, a grandmother, a friend, a woman holding a baby, a woman with her daughter, a grandmother, a mother with her daughter, and a woman holding a baby. This is a composite of the artists mothers and daughters, and the portraits reveal a rich and personal imagination.The artists mother is not a well-known face in Russia, however, so the portraits are rather informal. The sketches were made with a paper cutout, which allowed Oseni to sketch the faces and features of her mothers without having to disguise them. The portraits are not based on a photograph of the mother but rather on drawings and photographs of her mother. Oseni uses a black ink brush to sketch the faces and features of her mothers, while a white marker and a palette knife make the drawings. The results are not exact reproductions of the mothers faces, but rather images of people who have passed before them.The artist has used her mothers drawings and photographs to make works about memories and loss, about the distance between parents and their children, and about the gap between private and public memories. Oseni has said that the drawings have always been about the other, and about the gap between the two, between the two ways of thinking about the other. The artist has said that she wants to bring the two together, but she also wants to bring the artist into contact with her mothers memory of a childhood in which the two were separated by a gap of more than twenty years.
own personal life. They are a reflection on the very nature of a personal diary that becomes a mirror of public and political events.
African visual artist, Wande Oseni explores femininity through contemporary expressionism. Her works are a representation of her thoughts, opinions and commentary on social issues occurring globally and around her home in Bucharest, Romania. Her practice focuses on exploring the interweaving of artistic and feminine identities, and the ways in which they are mutually informed. Her latest exhibition focused on the intersections of femininity, spirituality and sexuality. The exhibition, entitled Spirit of the Other, was divided into two parts. In the first part, she presented a series of photographs of her own body. These were taken in the hospital ward of Bucharests State Hospital for Sick Children, where she works with children. The photographs are not always in the same place, and some are cropped at the top and bottom, while others are cropped at the top and bottom. The images are then intercut with a series of images of the hospital staff, which in turn are intercut with a series of drawings, photographs, and photographs of the artist herself. The resulting images, entitled Wistful Experiences, 2004–2005, are like snapshots, but they are also like what Wojnarowicz has called the dream images that are the handprints of a dead person. In one, the artist, who is wearing nothing but a dress and black trousers, lies on her back in a hospital bed, her feet and head covered with a blanket. The images are arranged in a pattern, like a sketchbook, and the process is reminiscent of a game of solitaire. In another image, the artist is shown from behind, her head covered with a blanket. She is naked, and her feet and hands are tied together. Her hands are crossed over her chest. Her hands are crossed over her crotch, and she is wearing only a white coat. The images show her body as a map of the world, and the world as a map of her body.The second part of the show consisted of objects that have been used in the past. These include a pair of black boots, a pair of black jeans, a pair of black stockings, and a pair of boots and jeans.

Woven into cloth, wool and paper, they are printed on paper, then woven into intricate patterns of ribbons and ribbons. These forms appear as floating figures, as if suspended in mid-air, and are suspended from the ceiling, like musical notes, and hang from the walls like decorative trimmings. These objects look like small sculptures, but are in fact handmade objects. The ribbons are embroidered with a textural pattern of words such as we, us, you, and now, or now, we, you, us, now, and now, and they are suspended from the ceiling in patterns of varying colors. The ribbons are suspended from the ceiling, like a string of beads, and are attached to the wall by rope. The paintings, too, are embroidered on paper. But they are painted in oil on canvas and are stretched over wooden boards. The materials are high-quality cotton, silk, silk, linen, rayon, velvet, rayon, muslin, and rayon.

African visual artist, Wande Oseni explores femininity through contemporary expressionism. Her works are a representation of her thoughts, opinions and commentary on social issues occurring globally and around her home country.In her video work, Oseni has created a fictional world that seems to be populated by the characters of a book, the characters being a woman and a woman in the world. These characters are the artist, the artists father, her mother, her sister, and her father. The video, which was also shown in a slide projection, documents the artists reflections on the death of her father, who committed suicide last year. This work is a reflection on the loss of the father who was a big part of her life. Oseni has written that his suicide was triggered by the loss of faith in the world, and in this piece, she has added to this loss by investigating the relationship between the artist and her father. The video begins with a close-up of the artists father, who is seen in profile. The camera lingers on his hands, which are held in a gesture of reverence, as if he were a relic of a lost world. Then the camera moves to the artist, who holds a paintbrush, brushes, and brushes. She appears to be making marks on the wall and on the paper. The video ends with a close-up of the artist, who looks at her father with a pleading, desperate gaze. The video shows Oseni looking at her father, who looks at her with a tearful, almost maternal affection. She is clearly mourning the loss of her father, and perhaps for her own sanity as well as his.In another video, Oseni plays with the idea of a legacy, as in a piece in which she plays with the notion of the legacy. She shows us a photocopy of a letter she wrote to her father after his death. In it, she writes: I have done all I can to help you through this difficult time. My father always said to me that he hoped I would be able to help him.
