Woko Aguru’s Anya ya (Her Eyes) is a captivating mixed-media work that uses wine corks and found objects to form a striking, large-scale portrait. The piece centers on the expressive eyes of a woman, which seem to gaze deeply, evoking a sense of contemplation and wisdom. The intricate layering of corks creates a textured, mosaic-like effect that adds depth and complexity to the face, while the use of found materials like threads and metallic rings contributes to the work's unique blend of traditional and modern aesthetics. The materials themselves, particularly the repurposed corks, reflect themes of sustainability and transformation, turning everyday objects into a profound visual narrative. Through this work, Aguru emphasizes the power of observation and emotion, conveyed poignantly through the subject’s eyes, inviting viewers to connect with her on an intimate, almost spiritual level.
About the seller
Delaroke Gallery • France
Vetted Seller
This seller rewards your purchases of multiple artworks
Aguru's work has metamorphosed through the years to include incorporating found objects as well as objects otherwise regarded as waste to his artistic experiments. His recent explorations have investigated the artistic behaviour of objects like wine corks, polystyrene, aluminium cans, etc. These materials reflect a preoccupation to reappropriate and reconfigure these materials to discuss contemporary issues.
