On the Cross Sculpture

Emmanuel Okoro, a sculptor of Nigerian descent based in London, intertwines the art of storytelling with his sculptural practice, drawing inspiration from themes of tribal ancestry, human experience, and the notions of legacy and immortality. His approach to sculpture is one of reduction, stripping forms to their essence to capture states of being, unity, and the nuances of moments, whether they are filled with movement, expectation, or repose. Okoro's two decades of dedication to his craft are evident in his work, which is characterized by its versatility and the palpable passion that infuses each piece. His sculptures, notable for their clear lines and organic textures, are rendered in a variety of multi-coated, earthy materials. They stand as an invitation for viewers to engage and find their own 'Piece of the Rock'—a personal connection to the art that is as unique as the sculptures themselves. His commitment to his art is further reflected in the exclusivity of his pieces, most of which are cast in bronze and presented in limited editions of 12. This commitment to quality and uniqueness is a hallmark of Okoro's work, which is now prominently exhibited at major London Art Fairs, galleries and online presence.
