EMMANUEL OKORO SCULPTOR
Figurative bronze sculpture exploring heritage, movement, and narrative form.
THE ARTIST
Emmanuel Okoro
Emmanuel Okoro is a London-based figurative sculptor of Nigerian descent with over twenty years of practice. Commissioned for the London 2012 Olympic Games and a collaborator on Banksy's seminal 2003 East London exhibition, his work is held in collections across the UK, United States, Germany, and Nigeria.
His sculptures begin as stories — shaped through sketch, clay, and Marquette before entering the bronze casting process. Themes of heritage, survival, identity, and the human condition, rendered in richly patinated surfaces.
Currently exhibiting at the Affordable Art Fair, Hampstead Heath, London — 6–10 May 2026.

The Three Graces
BARROW MAN: A monumental figure in motion — raw strength distilled into bronze, carrying the weight of generations.
THE DRINKER: A moment of stillness and surrender. The body folded in quiet ritual, speaking of rest, reflection and the private ceremonies of daily life.
PROMISES (version 1): Bronze cast from a vow. This work captures the fragile tension between what is pledged and what is possible — the human condition suspended in form.
PROMISES (version 2): At 240 × 150cm, Promises commands space as it commands attention. A large-scale meditation on commitment, sacrifice and the stories we tell ourselves.
PROMISES 2015: The 2015 iteration of Okoro's ongoing Promises series — each casting a new chapter in the same unfinished conversation between hope and reality.
SOLITUDE OF THE THINKER: Solitude is not emptiness. This figure retreats inward — a monument to the private act of thought, and the courage it takes to sit with oneself.
