Rowland Isekeije

February 11 - March 14, 2003

Nigerian-born artist Solomon Rowland Isekeije brings a multi-national sensibility to his multi-media work. Heavily influenced by the philosopher Joseph Campbell and his study of collective archetypes, Isekeije uses print making techniques to reconcile western art with traditional African forms, seeking similarities between cultural symbols.  With a BFA from Obafemi Awolowo University and an MFA from ODU/Norfolk State, Isekeije is a former curator of the Lagos UNICEF Gallery, and a present instructor for ODU’s Governor’s School for the Arts.
