While you embrace Osaretin Ugiagbe’s fascinating paintings at Slag & RX Galleries, it is worth keeping in mind the necessary slippage between the signifier and the signified. In the case of proper names, for example, the sign is a mark of identity: there can only be one Osaretin Ugiagbe, but who he is for himself and who he is for others is a matter of perception. The same can easily be said of his paintings, and it is the idea of such misperceptions and lost meanings that should guide us through his show.
