Description: In this work, Olu Oguibe charts the life and career of Uzo Egonu, from his origins in Africa to his expatriation in Britain. Egonu's work challenges the impoverished Western myth of the naive African artist. The complexity of his work is firmly located within the tradition of modernism. What is seen is a judicious synthesis of visual languages developed from his critical encounter with Western art and an informed awareness of his African heritage; a synthesis which reaches beyond mere formalist concerns to involve both the experiences of Egonu's life in the West and the painful turmoils of his country of origin, post-colonial Nigeria.
