Painting — London, b. 1988

Mara Okonkwo

Okonkwo builds paintings in thick, deliberate layers, scraping each one back until only the memory of the last remains. Her surfaces read as weather rather than image.

“I paint the same field until it stops being a field. What is left is the weather that passed over it — and the time it took.”

Represented by the gallery in the United Kingdom since 2024.
