The UNCW Ann Flack Boseman Gallery presents Innocent Nkurunz
iza: Rwanda Shares Sept. 20 through Oct. 25. The exhibition formally opens
with a reception at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday\, Sept. 20 in the gallery locat
ed on the 2nd floor of the
Fisher University Union.
Through his choices of mixed media\, Nkurunziza uses vibrant colors and an
abstract impressionist style to explore 'Mother Rwanda\,'?the country as
both place and parent. His experience with blending colors and shading cre
ates a sense of movement while capturing symbolic moments from what he obs
erves on his journey as an artist. He states\, 'The dynamic rhythm of natu
re\, people\, colors and texture within my world are the basis from which
my art is derived.'
Nkurunziza actively spreads his love of art
and his vision of the national identity to others in his work with projec
ts like Ivuka Arts where budding artists can find mentors and impoverished
children can find\, as the collective's website says\, 'hope and educatio
nal opportunities.' With pieces titled 'Fellowship' and 'Equality\,' the w
orks of Innocent Nkurunziza embody ideas rather than just images\, ideas t
hat UNC Wilmington is carrying into the classroom with several class visit
s by the artist. The communal nature of his art expands as it is placed in
tandem with the work of local student artists.
For more inf
ormation\, please contact the Association for Campus Entertainment (ACE) a

through Saturday\, closed Sunday. For directions to the Fisher University
