Hi lovelies, today i’m talking about Rele’s ‘Young Contemporaries 2017’ exhibition which by the way is officially closed, these are my impressions of the works displayed. I’m not a visual art expert so I’m not going to say it’s the best mixed media or photograph or acrylic, so expect anything.
I know it’s been a while. It’s as a result of my busy schedule at work and school so sharing art with you has really been tough but I am committed to this struggle. So here we go;
A) Artists
Oladimeji
Moving through the gallery on the launch day, I stopped at Dimeji’s work and suddenly he said, hello. I wasn’t expecting a willing reaction from the artist. Sometimes, I prefer to walk through galleries very quietly, viewing all the works and contemplating on them. Dimeji whom I perceive is very full of spirit explained his work in details.
Other than telling a story, what I got from his work is spirituality. He talked about perception and I saw reality.
Marcellina
I walked up to Marcellina’s work and she explained what she did with love and it featured a baby.
She explained the impressions a mother gets from her baby when they relate and I saw creativity.
Rewa
Rewa to me was as elegant as her work. I felt a sense of aestheticism though I did not speak with her. 
Ezekiel
Can you remember this from my Instagram account? Well this is Ezekiel’s perceptions. All I could say was hmm. This would be great on anyone’s wall, it could also be good on a roof.
Sejiro
Sejiro’s work was thought provoking and in no way simple. Its definitely not something you see everyday at an art gallery. It looked like hard work to me.
I can’t say I saved my favorite for last. It’s my favorite piece. You have to have been there to understand what I mean.
B) Installations
This was what the installation looked like.
What you’re looking at are small balls wrapped in a sort of ankara fabric which looked very similar to Marcellina’s work. Some hung from the ceiling like planets in different colours.
Generally, the exhibition was fun and I loved the works. The Curator sure had a lot of fun figuring out how to express the theme of this exhibition. Oh well looking forward to sharing more adventures in the art world using my waka ( moving around) spirit.
