Nnena Kalu presents a new major solo exhibition for Deptford X festival

ActionSpace artist Nnena Kalu presented a new solo exhibition, ‘Infinite Drawing’ for Deptford X. Curated by curator Jareh Das, the exhibition featured a large, immersive drawing installation that explored Nnena’s intrinsic drive for repetitive mark-making. The installation included new large scale drawings created over the course of a year and shown publicly for the first time.

Nnena approaches each drawing with passion and systematic layering, creating dense layers of colour and shifting lines. Throughout her practice the physical connection to her work whilst making is crucial. Nnena responds to the rhythm and noise of creating so the whole process becomes fully immersive and determines the shape, style and nature of each piece. This installation for Deptford X presented a new way of experiencing the visual complexity and physical power of Nnena’s drawings.
