Helena Foster's first New York solo exhibition features new oil paintings that draw on literature, theater, Igbo oral tradition, and religion. Her works, set between nature and built environments, often depict figures in dynamic scenes reflecting community, memory, and prophecy. Foster uses allegorical compositions to evoke emotional resonance, blending personal and cultural narratives. Her paintings are imbued with a sense of familiarity, combining delicate brushwork and symbolic references to create a visual language for the contemporary age.
