Born in 1976, Eke Bright is a Nigerian-born artist. He develops a body of work in which he thematizes the global problem of environmental pollution. The fragments of plastic shopping bags in his two large collages allude to the excesses of consumer society, which have a particularly devastating effect on developing countries. Bright Eke’s medium is water, which links all humans and their environments. Rivers and other bodies of water can also constitute boundaries, and the politics of water is increasingly divisive as water becomes more precious. Several of Bright Eke’s works take the form of transparent walls of water bottles, evoking both the solidity and permeability of boundaries. Others focus bluntly on the ethics of water quality in different locales; we can tell a lot about people and their environments from the quality of the water they drink.
