I am a great admirer of Victor Ekpuk's art and the way he tells/re-invents humanity's foundations.
For my eyes and brain, Victor Ekpuk goes far back to the very primitive origins of the human species, both in his circular geometric shapes that speak of humanity's genesis, in the contents of these shapes that recall the placenta, and of course in the writings that carry us to the very early ages of the world's knowledge.
He sumptuously tells of Eternity....
Victor Ekpuk's pieces do not come within the framework of Time.
They tell our Beginning but this beginning they speak about does not say a word of what is and what will be its sequel.
That's why this Beginning is our Eternity.
