Summary:
''Oríkì: Material Affirmations in Three Acts'' is the debut monograph of Nigerian artist Nifemi Marcus-Bello, spanning his three-part sculptural Oríkì series, including ''Act I: Friction Ridge'', ''Act II: Tales by Moonlight'', and ''Act III: Whispers of a Trail'', exploring bronze, aluminium, and copper, respectively. Named Oríkì after the Yoruba practice of praise poetry, the volume includes Nifemi’s own personal oríkì, composed by his mother, Folake Marcus-Bello, as well as a personal essay tracing his artistic development from childhood through the present. ''Oríkì: Material Affirmations in Three Acts'' includes both full-colour portraits of the series, alongside a photo diary of process images and personal archive, uncovering the inspiration and personal journey behind Nifemi’s award-winning creations, embodying his ongoing dialogue between materiality and identity.
