From the start of what has been only the opening decade of her career (she is in her early thirties), Ojih Odutola's «signature» invention has been
an extraordinarily rich language for depicting the sheen and texture of the skin of her Black subjects, which she creates using primarily ballpoint pen and markers.
The title of the exhibition is inspired by a reflection by the Nobel Prize - winning Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez, who stated that
language was not enough to describe the «boundless reality» that is conveyed by the
extraordinarily rich nature of Latin America and the Caribbean.
