Florine Imo @ Ibf Contemporary

The genesis of ‘As Light as a Feather’ began in the Holy Trinity Church in Angel, London, where I created a new series of paintings and a sculptural installation. The final product is an immersive journey into the celestial realm of angels, exploring the multifaceted essence of femininity. The exhibition transforms the space into an otherworldly sanctuary – a gateway to heaven created with ceramic feathers cascading from the ceiling and the mirrored floor mimicking celestial pathways, beckoning viewers to transcend the mundanity of earthly existence and enter my painted universe: the domain of Angels. Born from the confluence of my diverse artistic pursuits as a painter, sculptor, and poet, the exhibition is a testament to the interplay between spirituality, humanity, and personal introspection. At the heart of the exhibition are the Angels, my female reinterpretations of the otherworldly beings who partake in unique scenes challenging conventional perceptions of purity and perfection.
