Nengi Omuku
Hastings Contemporary, 7 October to 3 March
Dreamlike paintings of nature from an artist based in Lagos who is also a florist and gardener. Omuku trained in Britain but this is the Nigerian visionary’s first big UK exhibition. Her pastoral idylls are painted on the traditional Nigerian fabric sanyan, and include an epic new work called, simply, Eden.
