Emmanuel
Okoro is a figurative sculptor, working in an expressive, contemporary
style. His sculpture conveys an archetypal experience. They are simplified to
reveal the essence of a state of being, oneness and relationship or of a moment,
whether dancing, expectant, or restful.
With his sculptures Emmanuel simplifies the forms to
achieve clear lines, smooth and an organic textured surfaces, while playing
with the scale and proportion and connection of specific features within
figurative sculptures.
Emmanuel uses
storytelling as the themes to his creations. He describes complex
relationships that can be simultaneously interpreted as an internal reality,
or as a real. Pushing the mind with a different beat. His sculptures reflect
a psychological interest in what drives human beings to become what they are.
