“In the gift dwells the composition of purpose and vision” a Seed Gallery sponsored private exhibition showcasing a selection of drawings of Nya’s work, “Restoration of Zion,” was opened on Friday, January 19 at the artist studio in New York.

​

 

The astonishingly marvelous and labyrinthine drawings on display, which the artist defines as x-rays,  are a keen window into the anatomy of “Restoration of Zion.”

 

​

Each selected drawing (x-ray)  is like a public surgery, a dissection and microscopic examination of the multifarious cells amalgamating to form the primary organs and muscles conceiving each element in the composition of the massive work which is scheduled for unveiling in 2026.

 

​

Also accompanying the exhibition was the launch and recital of select excerpts from the manuscript of his fifth book edited by Seed Gallery, “A true leader abides in praise and worship,” in which ten of the x-rays of “Restoration of Zion” are also featured. 

 

​

Essentially, the x-rays selected for this exhibition grant every viewer unhindered access into the sacred chambers of the artist’s creative prowess and takes you into the soul of the drawing to see what the artist was seeing in his mind’s eye as he was conceiving and making the piece.

 

​

In perhaps one of the most captivating work on display, “restoration of zion. x-ray 94,” a diminutive 8.5 x 11 inch., (21.59 cm x 27.94 cm) drawing grounded on heavily distressed parchment and comprised of multiple layers of thick metallic gold and silver hues that were dug into with a razor blade to expose the interior of the resplendent pigments, Nya’ unpretentiously employed art and design elements of harmony, line, designo, rhythm and pattern to explore the character of the Spirit of leadership, the origins of the leadership spirit and the precept of the mandate of leadership given to Mankind.

 

​

Described in the artist’s x-ray notes as kings, ambassadors, priests, gods and sons, the buoyant figures in the x-ray represents children of God fulfilling their leadership mandate as given unto Mankind - and that is to subdue, dominate, replenish and transform the world systems administering the earth through their unique gifts and by the power and authority of The Blessing of the Creator.

 

​

Transformed in their belief system through the renewal of their minds by the Spirit of leadership residing in them, these men and women of every ethnicity, tribe and nationality are dedicated to their leadership assignments of serving their gifts to humanity in their respective fields of callings and spheres of influence.

 

​

As depicted in the x-ray by the solid gold covering select continents, the Spirit of leadership, wisdom and understanding (The Holy Spirit) dwelling and working in this citizenry of God’s Kingdom has wiped away the effects of fallen Mankind’s rebellious nature that once plagued the human race. By the supernatural power of the Creator of the universe empowering their minds, emboldening their faith, fortifying their convictions and ordering their footsteps, they are gradually succeeding in fulfilling humanity’s leadership mandate of placing the nations of the world under the ideal government every Man of every religion, nationality, ethnicity and political persuasion is consciously or unconsciously searching for, and that is The Kingdom government of God in The Holy Spirit.

 

​

Another piece in the exhibition which clearly reveals Nya’s persistent strive for perfection in his work is a pedantically executed drawing grounded on Wexford printing paper “restoration of zion. x-ray 55,” 8.5 x 11 inches (21.59 cm x 27.94 cm).
