Nigerian artist Nengi Omuku’s powerful new exhibition “The Gathering” at the de Young Museum weaves her vibrant contemporary paintings with historic African art, revealing how community, resilience, and ancestral roots fuel her vision. Her works—inspired by West African traditions and Impressionism—depict real-life struggles like Nigeria’s fuel shortages and disaster response, transforming pain into beauty. Painted on traditional sanyan fabric, her canvases invite touch, deepening the connection between viewer and artist. A Yoruba Paka Egungun garment in the show symbolizes the seamless bridge between past and present, proving that art doesn’t just reflect reality—it reshapes it.
