Birthed in the cradle of humankind from the ancient ground of Kromdraai in South Africa, to the red soil of Benin City, bronze becomes a language of connection and documentation. Each bronze piece in this collection, bears the imprint of touch and time, the residue of endurance shaped within the heat of transformation.
The collection unfolds as a dialogue between geographies and histories. The ancient grounds upon which NIROX Foundation is nestled, meets the enduring metallurgical tradition of the historic Igun street, Benin City in Edo state.
This body of work honours those who forged art as inheritance, who cast memory into form, and who understood the earth itself as both origin and offering.
Of Kings and Vessels is, at its essence, a work of poetry rendered in bronze. It invites us to witness how land and lineage, craft and contemplation, nature tenderly woven with hands and heart, continue to breathe quietly beneath each masterpiece.
