Environment and Object - Recent African Art examines recent African art according to two fluid and often intertwined aesthetic and conceptual frameworks: the impact of the environment on contemporary African life, and the use of found objects and appropriated materials as a recurring presence in current African art.

Charting a wide range of ways that contemporary artists from Africa are responding to environmental conditions and their own situations to make art, Environment and Object includes sculpture, photography, painting and video by well-known artists from Africa and contemporary African artists living abroad.

The artists featured in this series, Nnenna Okore, Bright Ugochukwu Eke and Viyé Diba engage the environment in varied ways and display distinctly different approaches to the use of objects and media in their art making.
