Rele, Lagos is pleased to present 'Woven and Built: In Tandem', a two-person exhibition featuring works by Marcellina Oseghale Akpojotor and Patrick Akpojotor, marking ten years of shared life and practice.
Working across sculpture and textile, their distinct approaches unfold side by side, tracing a decade of making and building together.
Marcellina Akpojotor works with layered fabric, drawing on family photographs, archival imagery, and everyday materials. Her surfaces carry memory and lived experience, where private and collective histories remain visible.
Patrick Akpojotor approaches painting through the logic of building. Figures emerge through beams, frames, and planes that suggest structure and tension. In this exhibition, he moves between single figures and double portraits, considering how people occupy spaces.
