Monique Meloche Gallery announces a solo exhibition by Nigerian artist Luke Agada, titled Arms, Feet, and Fitful Dreams. This is Agada’s first solo show with the gallery and will be featured in the gallery’s viewing room in conjunction with Sanford Biggers: Back to the Stars.
Agada’s practice examines themes of globalization, migration, and cultural dislocation within the framework of a postcolonial world. His abstracted paintings present warped figures and dream-like compositions as symbols of hyphenated identities and reference the transformation of the art historical postmodern human figure. Considering how both time and space produce complex bodies of difference, Agada’s works address the ambiguity of our identity within post-structuralist theory.
