| Karo Akpokiere - artist and designer based in Hamburg and Lagos |
| https://karoakpokiere.com Direct contact link Drawing is at the heart of Karo Akpokieres practice. With it he fuses experiences and observations he gets from everyday life with his current interests in patterns textiles printmaking to tell stories of a personal and/or political nature. For Akpokiere his approach to drawing is twofold. It revolves around how drawing can be used to project political social and personal realities and concerns itself with harnessing the power that drawing offers for ‘play’; play as a metaphor for spontaneous creative freedom and the making of open-ended narratives that may be fictive and/or non-fictive. Akpokieres work straddles the line between fine art and graphic design and in doing so questions the traditional hierarchies that exist between both disciplines.Akpokieres work has appeared in group exhibitions including IV Biennial of Montevideo (2019)  /karoakpokiere/ |  |
