‘Here, as in Heaven’ is the title of Ndidi Emefiele’s current exhibition, a body of work representing the artist’s philosophical attempt to understand the tragic death of her sister.
These paintings represent a significant shift from the playful conjuring with the complexity of contemporary experience and female identity that characterised her earlier work. They are works that carry the vestiges of pain from loss of relationship with her sister as they seek to question life, the afterlife, the passage of time, and being. Like so many artists before her, Emefiele is engaging with the intangible mysteries of existence in ways that explore the possibility of the beyond.
