Biografia
Ekow Nimako was born in Montreal, Canada and studied Fine Arts at York University in Toronto. An avid builder since childhood, Ekow's first LEGO® installation, Aviarageddon, depicted over thirty species of weaponized birds in flight as a commentary on war culture and its link to species endangerment. His current exhibition, Building Black investigates the complexities of black identity with artworks that draw from various racial, historical, and folkloric narratives, while his most recent artwork Silent Knight – a monumental sculpture of the extirpated Ontario Barn Owl – was the highlight of 2015’s Scotiabank Nuit Blanche. Ekow lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
