The Exhibition
This exhibition is a small snapshot, highlighting the sculptural work of Ejiro Fenegal. She manipulates marble to create elegantly detailed figurative sculptures, that delve the complexities of human emotions. She works mainly in clay to model her figures, making moles and casting, using resin and marble dust. Vibrant polychromatic patina is then applied, to accentuate the expressive features and character of her subjects. Acap tried to achieve better quality images, in an attempt to show the refined details of her art practice. We hope our viewers will go online and follow the progress, contribution, and growth of this exciting artist.
