Andreea Neblea
Best known for his images of extravagant, almost sculptural, women’s hairstyles, the work of the late Nigerian photographer J.D. ‘Okhai Ojeikere has been exhibited around the world. But in a 2014 documentary on his life, he said his art was not celebrated in his home country. That might be changing. Recently, 150 photographs from his archives, most of which hadn’t been publicly exhibited before, were the focus of a special exhibition at one of Africa’s premier art fairs, ART X Lagos, in Nigeria.
