Sometimes we feel the huge wave of what our identity is, how we came to know what our identity is, and why we think much about our identity. Then, I realized it is because the word identity seems not to be a useful word anymore as we apply it to many different things, and I believe this visual piece traps it in a manner of exploring the diversified nature, and origin of contemporaneous identity. The use of the “hatched baby” is to illustrate the innocence of our contemporaneous identity, the rudiment of our identity, the mental ability in understanding the creation of contemporaneous identity, how it stirred our imagination and open up new world. I tend to personalize the scene by using the head as an African figurative expression for the traditional artistic character and merging it into the Mediterranean complexional identity. In essence, the theme helps to reflect our experiences of the world; it does this by espousing the mind with the search for identity and engaging us in an open-ended means of expression, literacy, civic engagement, and critical thinking of exploring figurative pattern out of chaos in a way that refashions the innate quality of our being.

Nigeria
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.
