By Emeka Esogbue
Renowned painter Enyi Echezona Jr. is set to unveil his latest masterpiece, “The Spirit of Ekwumekwu,” at an upcoming exhibition in Asaba, Delta State.
The 36 x 48-inch acrylic artwork, titled “A Dance of the Forest,” captures the essence of the Anioma people’s resistance against colonial rule.
According to the artist, “I aimed to convey the tenacity and bravery of the Anioma man as he fought to defend his native land against foreign invaders.” The Ekumeku Movement (1883-1914) was the longest resistance to colonial rule in Nigeria.
The exhibition, scheduled for November, will showcase Enyi Echezona Jr.’s work, highlighting the artistic talent and resilience of the Anioma people. Although the exact date is yet to be confirmed, art enthusiasts can look forward to experiencing the beauty and fortitude of the Anioma people through Enyi’s remarkable artwork. Enyi Echezona Jr. hails from Idumuje-Uno, Delta State.
