Ezekwesili Nnaemeka Nnam, born in 1983, is ais an abstract painter, sheet metal sculptor, upcycle artist, print maker and Designer. Based in Abuja, Nnam’s artistic journey began at the age of seven, crafting toys for his friends—a passion that evolved despite societal pressures to pursue conventional careers. In 2019, Nnam held a solo exhibition titled “Abundance” at Ozidu House in Abuja, featuring 35 large-scale impressionistic paintings. The exhibition delved into themes of success and performance, using dots to symbolize varied experiences leading to achievement.
The message of his ART is ABUNDANCE. He insists that we have abundant resources in everyone and in everything. We only need to find it, exploit and use it.
Ezekwesili works with several mediums including canvas, wood, bottles, sheet metal aluminum, audio content, video content, and discarded fashion waste. His work is majorly abstract, which allows him the leverage to present his ideas and extend meaning in his work.
He loves to study origins, to audit root- ideas, uncover history and discuss the causes of things as we manage effects. These causes, origins and ideas according to him, are found as seeds, blueprints, maps, foundations, sperms and eggs. His art admires and discusses the beauty in the cause of things, which are often small, sometimes insignificant, often occurs in secret, moves quietly and takes quite some time. He interrogates patterns, admires the power of foundations, their beauty and confidence evoking power. It is also about contributions, intimacy, teamwork, and abundance. For him, Nitty-gritties and details are as powerful as the chaos or abundance they produce.
Beyond art, Nnam serves as the Director of the Abuja Trade Centre, overseeing events and media projects. He also pastors The Supernatural Life Church, balancing his spiritual and artistic endeavors
