Victor Ekpuk: Looking Back and Forward at Aicon features paintings and sculpture that draw from Ibibio traditions and Western art practices. His work explores the concept of Mbre, or creativity as play, using sacred Nsibidi symbols alongside contemporary materials. Referencing memorial architecture and textiles, Ekpuk builds a visual language that moves freely between cultural systems, creating a distinct artistic expression that is rooted, experimental, and forward-reaching.
