JC Bright

JC Bright (b. 1994) is an artist, art historian, writer, and curator. Chiefly driven by momentary fascinations, his work unpacks layers of experiences with the self and shared spaces, alongside a bias for familial encasements. Recruiting abstraction and botanical manifestations in the biomorphic, he unweaves intricacies, personal and other opinions as a means of constructively probing layers of his investigations. Currently, he is researching abstract art of Africa and the African diaspora, while his curatorial work is based around agency, eco-aesthetics, and materiality. He is the Associate Curator for Rele Gallery in Los Angeles and Lagos. Bright earned a First Class Bachelor’s in Fine Arts and Design from the University of Port Harcourt, specializing in Art History. He lives and works in Lagos, Nigeria.
