Twelve like-minded artists: Reuben Ugbine,
Abiodun Olaku, Bunmi Babatunde, Sam Ovraiti, Duke Asidere, Edosa Ogiugo, Alex
Nwokolo, Fidelis Odogwu, Joshua Nmesirionye, Diseye Tantua, Felix Osiemi and grandmaster
Kolade Oshinowo, will be showing five works each on Saturday, October 27, at
Terra Kulture, Tiamiyu Savage, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria, in the sixth
edition of Infinite Treasures which
will run for more than a week.
Their quest remains the same; to safeguard an
art enterprise that takes care of the professional artists’ welfare, satisfies
collectors and updates the public of the seamless effort of the artists and
contributes to the country’s economy.
In the words of Mufu Onifade: “It is still
the same principles, which produce art of pure spiritual inclination and hunger
for perfection that gave birth to this annual harvest of masterpieces called Infinite Treasures.”
Consistency is key in
the art stage, especially now that competition has gained strong grand in the
art scene. Upcoming artists want to break boundaries and the established ones
are working to remain relevant. For over thirty years some artists have channel
the course in the Nigerian art community and have made impact with their
various style, medium and technique.
Their
works speak volume with fierce energies and elemental artistic presence which seem to frighten
off modern curators from their corridor. As they document contemporary issue,
they pour out their souls on their canvas, as well as show you what Fine Art
should be.
