Swing Low, Nengi Omuku – Limited Edition

We're delighted to announce an exclusive collaboration with renowned Nigerian artist Nengi Omuku and her charity, The Art of Healing (TAOH). Swing Low (2024) is a special limited-edition fundraising artwork, with proceeds supporting groundbreaking arts and mental health projects in the UK and Nigeria. Swing Low is a direct-to-media print on primed jute. The limited edition print hangs from a wooden dowel, similar to many of Nengi's original paintings. As a hanging artwork, be aware this edition may curl at the bottom over time, especially if affected by changes in temperature. 

Nengi Omuku, Swing Low, 2024, direct-to-media print on primed jute, mahogany dowel, hooks, 44 x 50cm (image size 40 x 40cm), signed and numbered, edition of 100 + 8 AP.

Omuku and Hospital Rooms have enjoyed a longstanding collaboration, with Omuku contributing to numerous projects over the years.

In 2018, she was commissioned by Hospital Rooms to paint a mural in a psychiatric intensive care ward for women in London. This project, supported by Arts Council England, ignited her passion to create a transformative initiative that could uplift mental health services in Nigeria.

Inspired by her work with Hospital Rooms in the UK, Omuku established her own arts organisation in Nigeria, named Ona Iwosan (The Art of Healing). TAOH’s first mural project, launched at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, is set to be completed this year, marking a significant step in bringing contemporary art into mental health care across Africa.

50% of proceeds raised will enable Hospital Rooms to continue its vital work in the UK and 50% of proceeds will support The Art of Healing’s projects in Nigeria.
