GRACE AWE
Grace Awe (b. 1997) from Ekiti State, Nigeria is a contemporary artist who lives in Ogun State, Nigeria. She graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria with a bachelor’s in Fine and Applied Art with a major in Textile Design. Her signature style merges textile (using shredded and rumpled threads) and paint to make moving pieces of art. She is heavily influenced by spirituality and aspects of human existence such as relationships, emotions, and memories from the existential occurrences in her world. Through her art, Grace intends to spark deep thoughts and conversations that may cause individuals and society to rethink and act positively.
She has exhibited her work with galleries both inside and outside Nigeria.
