Photographic memoir from 2017 Lagos Biennial

Photographic memoir from 2017 Lagos Biennial, an art exhibition where young and vibrant artists from different parts of the world converge to display their various mind-blowing artistic creativities. The exhibition holds in collaboration with Legacy Museum, Nigerian Railway Compound, Ebute Metta, beginning yesterday and continuing till 22nd November, 2017. Artists from Rwanda, Ghana, Portugal, US, Kenya, South Africa and many others came with their unique works of art that can richly be appreciated when the artists take you through the ideologies and thoughts behind them.

I am, in material particular, so elated and impressed that Legacy Museum and Lagos Biennial 2017 could, through art  

exhibition attract such unprecedented human presence to the belly 

of Nigerian Railway that now is nothing else but a lamentable dung  of abandonment and symbol of Nigeria's monumental and 

unpardonable cruelty to itself.

Heartening Thine Heart With Articulating Arts Galore

The picturesque of humanity is never complete till God's manifests His glorious packages through three principal human channels.

First are the artists who delve into continuum of their beings, be inspired to think, imagine, be impressed and thus express what the God of their understanding want them to express in symbolic works of art for others to admire.

Musicians play their music not only to entertain but further deepen our thoughts numerously too.

Writers obtain in fancies and vogues and they write for our information, education and entertainment but sometimes those pedestrian amongst them rubbish us in thoughts, word and actions.

In the next five years I want to move... - Stanley Dudu

Whether traditional or contemporary, realistic or abstract, an artist's choice is guided by expressive purpose. Stanley Dudu’s numerous drawings attest to this. 

His works revolve around women and children, which are done by memory and imagination.  Dudu interprets every day activities of women and children. The resulting images thus reflect the artist’s feelings about the subjects, which are worth discussing.
