About The Artwork
Title: "Where is our future" (beyond sobriety) Medium: oil and melt on canvas Size: 5 x 4 feet Year: 2018 Purpose: The painting executed in oil and plastic melt reflects the present state of the most populated African country (Nigeria), the work as seen depicts two classes of inhabitants, the older and the more younger generation, the older generation are expressed and portrayed in a sober, static, and bamboo-like manner which reflects the hopeless state of the average Nigerian, over the years it has been tough and unpleasant, survival of the fittest amidst high rate of poverty and unemployment. To the more younger generation, the story is different, they just want to eat and enjoy the moment having faith in the unseen future and believing a more blissful hope lies ahead of them. A positive change is required to bring the desired result of a better country, lots of question comes to light in the course of this... Will the positive change ever come? Will the change be true positive change? Will these little kids grow up to witness and enjoy positive change? #africanart #africanwoman #africanamerican #michaelbello #saatchi #artgalleries #artbuyers #artbusiness #artdealer #artcollectors #artforsale #contemporarypainting #contemporaryartist #un #unescoworldheritage #unesco #unicef #paris #usa #canada #oiloncanvas #artistofinstagram #instaart #painting #exhibitions #artbasel #artbiennale #africanartgallery #artfinder #artlovers

Nigeria
I've executed over a hundred commissioned portrait paintings (oil, gouache, ink, acrylic), drawings and mixed medias (plastics, beads, stones, sand, fabric, threads) specially adorned and textured in my self devised technique known as "melt" used to create convincing and stylized African motifs on my works which significantly represents and relates the African culture and traditions. I've had several duo and group exhibitions, had my first solo exhibition last year December where I exhibited 30 paintings of diverse media ranging from oil, acrylic, plastic melt and rubber coat, ink and collection of plastic wastes for installation arts. I am completely captivated and inspired by my dreams, African events in remote areas (villages) evened by figures, societal happenings, (but mostly dream about my finished works even before execution) and this birthed "3 sides to my coin of execution" spiritual (mystery), enlightening (informative) and African (use of stylized African motifs) which greatly reflected in my first solo exhibition in 2018 themed "WITHIN AND BEYOND". I love to use my brush and paints coupled with my "melt" technique to creatively romance brilliant and sharp colors for aesthetic vibrancy to create textures and stylized African motifs on my paintings which also expressively creates painterly effects. From time to time I vary my subject matter with abstract art, landscape, installation arts, but people (figurative expressions) remain my passion and true obsession. I look forward to having international exhibition opportunities and commission works.
