FLORIAN OKWU
Based in Vancouver, BC
Florian Okwu is a Nigerian and German-American artist bridging subconscious and physical reality through abstract wooden sculptures. He carves beings, creatures and structures which populate and mythologize his own internal landscapes and imaginary world.
Florian's anthropomorphic work references life-cycles and embodiment, mirroring the viewer and asking them to consider their own history, mortality, and purpose. He defines his artistic practice as one of aesthetic inquiry, an uncovering of what makes him human, and a physical mapping of his time, inspirations, and creative journey.
