ABOUT
Jack Shainman Gallery is pleased to present Ilé Oriaku, an exhibition of multimedia drawings and works on paper by Toyin Ojih Odutola, the artist’s seventh solo show with the gallery. Building upon her inclusion in the Nigerian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and her solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Basel, both in 2024, these works present episodic scenes that together explore the uses and limitations of language—including its beauty both in failure and success—as a vehicle for processing grief and as a tool for creating personal meaning and collective history.
