ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I come from the ghetto, I am a ghetto man: I do ghetto love, I marry in the ghetto, I do ghetto music, I eat ghetto food, I rather children in the ghetto; ghetto made us. We all seems to come from the ghetto, and the ghetto shapes us to whom we are, it either mar or rebuild us. In ghetto we strive, in the ghetto we know loyalty, in ghetto we learn the meaning of trust. In ghetto we go hard, we trust hard, we love hard, we fight hard. Ghetto had it good and bad days, ghetto has its peace, ghetto has its sleep time, but how abt luxury in the ghetto? I would say there will come a better day for that. The struggle of ghetto wont stop today. So, what does your street remind you of? The background of my artistic piece is part of my new series- layered, seemless aesthetic cow patterns inspired by cow skin #akanji91 #akanjibolaji #akanji

Akanji is a visual artist, based in Lagos, Nigeria. A profilic painter with versatile style. He has participated in group exhibitions, competitions and workshops. His works engage emotions around social and cultural narratives of his immediate environment experimenting on forms, a fundamental element of art, an attempt on realism with both impressionistic and expressionistic influences. His new body of works explore imagery in layered, seemless aesthetic cow patterns inspired by cow skin. This new body of works is brought to life from years of experimentation and practice- the quest to finding an artistic signature style. The new style under the categorization of pop abstractionism is visioned to be developed into wider area of sculptures and installation as its appreciation grows.
