Mitochondria Gallery is pleased to present “Streams and Trails,” the second solo exhibition by Rwandan artist, Izere Antoine (b.1996).
Mana y'umwero (Goddess of Harvest). Oil on Canvas. 48 x 60 inches. 2023
In this exhibition, Antoine surveys the intricacies associated with discovering our authentic selves. Izere seeks to encourage the viewers to plough through the limiting thoughts and fears within us as we take this journey towards self-discovery. The artist tells stories utilizing compositions of individual subjects positioned in unique scenes. There is an aspect of stoicism associated with each muse. Using oil paints on canvas, the artist builds layers of imagery with his palette knife adding textural depth and complexity to these environments. “Streams and Trails” reminds us that life’s journey is not linear. We will take many paths, face numerous obstacles, and find ourselves lost at times. However, these moments are what contribute to our growth.
