Uzo Njoku is a versatile visual artist well known for her mesmerizing motifs used in her pattern making. The artist utilizes her hypnotizing pattern-making in her apparel production and a vast array of products that she daringly creates. Njoku successfully does what many artists struggle to accomplish; she bridges the gap between high art and design by incorporating her pattern-making, clothing, and home goods, within her paintings. Her vibrant paintings, majorly, depict melanin figures in contemporary clothing whilst incorporating her intricate patterns to create contrast and depth. The artist explains that often Black artists feel the responsibility to depict black suffering, but Njoku finds that her purpose is to showcase the joy, beauty, and energy of Black communities.
