'Freedom In View Is Only Seeming' Drawing

Akinbanji Osanyemi (bn.1989), a graduate of Joseph Ayo Babalola University Osun State Nigeria, holds a BSc. In Economics and an ambitious self-taught visual artist who hails from Ondo state. Early enough in his life, he had discovered his ability to observe things clearly and equally represent them on planes. This subconsciously had a major influence on his choice of style which the general art world terms ''Realism'. Then much more later growing up, he began commissioning portraits as a way to learn and evolve technically in shading and in understanding proportion and balance. In order to create influential meaning with his artistic skill, he conceptualises his other works upon contemporary art; art of the present day, holding a perception that art should not only be based on showcasing an individual's skill but as a medium of conveying powerful messages to correct certain irregularities in the human world. His art style is majorly described and 'Abstract Realism' amongst other forms of mixed media art which he adopts. He currently resides in Lagos State, making short and long term efforts to stay relevant , create and evolve his expressions around the contemporary context.
