THE BREEDER PRESENTS “LETTING YOURSELF BE” BY DEBORAH SEGUN

The Breeder presents Letting Yourself Be, the second solo exhibition by Nigerian artist Deborah Segun, where she continues to explore themes of girlhood and womanhood. Segun’s work is grounded in a stillness that permeates her compositions, offering a serene yet powerful representation of the female experience.

This stillness is not one of weakness but of quiet strength—each figure in her paintings is poised, unshaken, and confidently occupies space in a world that often encourages women to shrink.

The artist uses colour and form to express the harmonious complexities of being a woman. The vibrant, interlaced planes that weave through her work suggest the layered, often intricate nature of identity,
