On AFRICAN CHILD DAY 2012

 

Remembering the brave South African youth, who rose up on June 16, 1976, and helped change their nation and the world.

This year, I stood for FREE ART EDUCATION with ART SCOUT on AFRICAN CHILD DAY… For all of us in the ART SCOUT team, Art is more of a bigger calling, ART for SOCIAL CHANGE. We are so passionate about art and affecting the world positively with our artistic prowess and dexterity. That was what brought us together, that was the bonding. We regularly take FREE ART EDUCATION to the less privilege kids in the villages and other remote areas in the country but this is a unique experience.

 The African Child Day presented us another chance to touch the lives of the kids at the rural areas. The project was to complement what the management of STAR FOUNDATION MISSION SCHOOL has been doing for some years with the poor kids of Ashabaala village and environs, FREE EDUCATION!

We had a wonderful moment with the kids, exchanging art as a gift of HOPE with the kids, and we hope they grow up to impact a change in their world… we are AMBASSADORS of HOPE using ART as a tool.

EXHIBITING WITH PROFESSOR WOLE SOYINKA: 'ORISUN'

  As a child, I was so keen about art and through my life sojourn I have lived for the art. Today, my artistic style has evolved and reflects the connection to my rich African cultural heritage... May 30, 2012 was so huge and significant in my career as an artist as I had the honour to exhibit my paintings along side with the collections of works (literatures) and collected traditional art works (sculptural pieces) of the great icon, Nobel laureate, professor Wole Soyinka. There are over fifty art works on display by over thirty artists with the theme 'ORISUN' at the Olumo Rock exhibition hall, Abeokuta. The Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun was at the opening event. The exhibition will run till Mid-June, 2012.
