"The Orisha Experience" A Photographic Exhibition by James C. Lewis

This will be the first European exhibition showcasing the work of photographer James C. Lewis. The series features his interpretations of the African Orishas from the Ifa religion of Nigeria.

His choice to create this series may have been a subconscious homage to his Nigerian heritage, but his true goal was to tell the story of the Orishas who inspired much of the Greek mythology that we have come to know. This series is a powerful and enlightening series that features astoundingly beautiful imagery of African people.

"I wanted to portray the regal beauty of each Orisha while also representing their majestic sensuality. Each iconic depiction was rendered to lend strength to our resilience as a great race of people and to show our youth that they are beautiful, bold and brilliant just the way God created them to be."
