Art Is Everywhere

Art truly is everywhere.. from the shredded papers to the used plastic cans to the abandoned leather slippers to even the wraps of sweet. Everything can be used, that's why nothing is a waste to an Artist because we recreate and turn a nothing into something useful.

What Does It Mean For An Artwork To Communicate?

An Artist friend once said "Art to me is a language,  a means of communication. Which also means that any work that doesn't communicate is not art. And then the greater the communicative power, the greater the art. The lesser the communicative power, the lesser the art."

So what does it mean for an Artwork to communicate?

Have you seen Barnett Newman's plain blue painting that sold for $43.8 million?

Can you say it actually communicated it's purpose for creation to its buyer?

Let me answer that by sharing a story I just heard from an Artist.. Ogochukwu Ejiofor a.k.a Bullet Art

The Rasheed Gbadamosi Eko Art Expo, which ran from Friday January 27^th and ending today, Sunday January 29th, 2017 at the Eko Hotel & Suites, VI, Lagos –  is an art exhibition by Lagos State Government being organized to honour the late Chief Rasheed Gbadamosi, who was a playwright and one of the notable art collectors in the country who also served as the co-chairman of the Lagos @ 50 Planning Committee before his death in November 2016 and to showcase the creativity of students in tertiary institutions as well as emerging artists.

The project was aimed at encouraging the ingenious creativity of visual artists thereby boosting the curation of contemporary and homegrown artworks. In the long run, the exhibition put a spotlight on the visual art space as a major contributor to the economy and development of the State.

One of Nigeria’s experimental artists, Tayo Olayode, will open the Wheatbaker’s 2017 Art Program with “Permutations”, an exhibition showcasing 38 impressive mixed media artworks.

Olayode, who graduated from Ahmadu Bello University with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art in 2000, presents diverse works using a range of complex techniques and styles, setting him apart as an artist who spans the worlds of abstract, realist and surrealist expression.

The exhibition opened at the Wheatbaker, Ikoyi, Lagos, on January 23.

One of the most exciting elements in the show is an 8-by-10 foot long installation created out of colorful synthetic ropes and copper wire which he calls Endless Development; a powerful reminder that society is strongest when we allow diverse philosophies, ethnicities and persuasions to be interwoven into a rich tapestry of creative expression.

Being An Artist

Being an Artist is beautiful because you get the opportunity to extend God's Greatness and show people how much and more God is by the little he has given. This is the work of an upcoming Artist in Nigeria - Egwuagu Valentine
