Exhibition Description
His gestural compositions invite viewers to engage with themes of friendship, cultural heritage, and the transmission of values across generations. Moses Salihou’s BOND series reflects on personal and collective memory through thick layers of oil paint, evoking the emotional depth of human relationships. Drawing from photographic references and lived experiences, Salihou’s figures are intentionally abstracted—allowing identity to remain fluid and open to interpretation. His compositions celebrate the ties that bind families and communities while highlighting the evolving nature of cultural heritage. Presented at EXPO CHICAGO, this exhibition marks an important milestone for both the artist and Tanya Weddemire Gallery, introducing Salihou’s dynamic practice to an international audience.
