Understanding art is incomplete without an awareness of themes and patterns as artists serve as a huge source of inspiration to other generations of artists, and these issues reflected by the artists continually persist. Often, a study of art forms is achieved through what is known as “typology”. Typology simply refers to a systematic classification of the types of a thing according to mutual features.
7 indigenous Nigerian artists are set to showcase their paintings and mixed media pieces in a group art exhibition tagged “Parallel Passages: Typology”. Consumers of art and other concerned individuals will be given an aesthetic treat as they grace an event that promises to be interactive and evocative as it immerses everyone in symbolic storytelling and a dynamic world.
The artists expected to display their artworks are:
Victoria Makinde
Ronke Komos
Okedoyin Luli
Imomoh Asemokah
Ayela-Uwangue Nosawema
Eghosa Raymond
Babatunde Affiko
Typology In Art
In this exhibition, these artists would explore using texts, paintings and mixed media works to depict typology in our society, creating a space for viewers to interpret the work and evoke thought-provoking dialogue.
What to Expect
The artworks are purposely curated to highlight different stories, real and fictional, that are symbolic, and types and shadows of one another, provoking viewers to interpret and solve a puzzle which holds a strong message or morale at the end.
The Parallel Passages exhibition is an exhibition designed to take you on an interesting journey of introspection. It is equally an avenue for you to engage with the artists and other art enthusiasts, and gain insight into the typological narratives behind each artist’s work.
Get ready to experience the diverse narratives of Typologies and make the stories of artists matter.
