Art in Nigeria: Sculptor, painter Olisa Nwadiogbu


Olisa Nwadiogbu is an artist from Nigeria. He is a multi-media artist and has been working in his studio for 20 years. We love the colors he uses and the style of his paintings. Here is more about the artist from the The Guardian Life Magazine:

Art is not created in a vacuum, it is directed by the society, in which the artists live and work. The main objectives of my works are: Message, Entertainment and Aesthetics.” According to the respected artist, “I work mostly from imagination using oil colours, acrylic, water colours, metal foils, glue, resin, bronze etc. My works are influenced by some past Nigerian masters and African sculptures. Usually the subject matter ranges from traditional concept and more contemporary concepts with narrative themes that make environmental, political and humanitarian statements.”

You can see two of his works illustrating this post. Too bad information is so scarce about him…
