Obinna Adiele is a talented wire sculptor who specializes in creating intricate sculptures. His work draws inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria, particularly focusing on capturing the essence of traditional hair fashion and its significance in showcasing Nigerian culture to the world. Using steel wires, Obinna meticulously arranges and welds them in horizontal and vertical lines to form patterns that ultimately come together to create captivating figures. He crafts representations of women, with a particular emphasis on the threaded hair fashion as a powerful symbol that connects us to our traditions. Obinna graduated from Abia State University in Nigeria and has showcased his sculptures in both local and international exhibitions. Notable exhibitions include the "Becoming" group exhibition in Lagos, Nigeria and the "Hello World" exhibition of the Transcultural Artists Exchange in Boston, USA among others. His dedication to his craft has led to his work being displayed in private collections owned by art collectors in South Africa, USA and Portugal. This international exposure has allowed Obinna to share his creative vision with a wider audience and connect with individuals who appreciate the cultural significance infused within each piece.
