Nnena Kalu

Nnena Kalu is a prolific, professional artist working from ActionSpace’s supported studio in Studio Voltaire since 1999. Over two decades Nnena has created a vast body of sculptural and 2D artworks and developed a live, performative element to her art practice, creating site-specific sculptural works for live installations. For her vortex style drawings Nnena works systematically across two drawings a day, creating them as a pair. The drawings, developed in unison, are an echo - caught in an echo loop of pure form and physical action. The whole process becomes immersive as Nnena responds to the rhythm, noise and physical experience of creating, which determines the shape, style and nature of each piece.
