SUMMARY:ODILI DONALD ODITA
DESCRIPTION:Odili Donald Odita is an abstract painter whose work explores c
 olor both in the figurative historical context and in the sociopolitical s
 ense. Odita has said\, “Color in itself has the possibility of mirroring
  the complexity of the world as much as it has the potential for being dis
 tinct. The organization and patterning in the paintings are of my own desi
 gn. I continue to explore in the paintings a metaphoric ability to address
  the human condition through pattern\, structure and design\, as well as f
 or its possibility to trigger memory. The colors I use are personal: they 
 reflect the collection of visions from my travels locally and globally. Th
 is is also one of the hardest aspects of my work as I try to derive the co
 lors intuitively\, hand-mixing and coordinating them along the way. In my 
 process\, I cannot make a color twice – it can only appear to be the sam
 e. This aspect is important to me as it highlights the specificity of diff
 erences that exist in the world of people and things.” Odita goes on to 
 express his desire to speak positively about Africa and its rich culture t
 hrough his work. In recent years\, Odita has been commissioned to paint se
 veral large-scale wall installations including The United States Mission t
 o the United Nations in New York (2011)\, the Savannah College of Art and 
 Design (2012)\, New York Presbyterian Hospital (2012)\, New Orleans Museum
  of Art (2011)\, Kiasma\, Helsinki (2011) and the George C. Young Federal 
 Building and Courthouse in Orlando\, Florida (2013).​\n\nHosted by the P
