Color should not be submissive
It cannot be subjugated.
It will not obey
It should not play nice
Color is unruly
Color isn’t for the faint of heart
It can be hard and strong
It can be bold
It can be clear and true
it can also lie
It can trick and deceive us all
Color does what it wants
It misbehaves
Most importantly,
color can change our minds
    -Odili Donald Odita

Odita exhibits his large canvases internationally. He has produced several wall paintings installations throughout the US, including the ICA Philadelphia, Princeton University, the Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center, New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Nasher Museum, Duke University.

The lithographic process is exceptionally well- suited to the making of Odita’s Cut. Ultra-thin layers of ink glow with the benefit of the white paper they are laid upon, while shards of striking bright colors are bisected along a diagonal median and fan outwards. Cadences of scale among the range of shapes play against the variety of warm and cool colors.
