In Nigeria, Anthony Azekwoh, a multimedia artist Anthony Azekwoh, created the art that is easy to recognize, mainly depicting the myths or legends of various religions and times, but it is different. Anansi, Jesu Christi, OBA, Oshun and Oya, SANGO’s three wives, Ayra Starr and Methuselah are just some of the characters he reappeared, and these icons have something in common in their entertainment. They are obviously black or black characteristics. If they are not made of white marble, they have vibrant black and are equipped with bright red, yellow and gold.
In the same city, Jacon Osinachi (Jacon Osinachi) (with 1-54, Artx Lagos, Basel Art and Basel Mami Beach (Artx Lagos) The exhibition of Miami Beach) made unique works to tend it to modern ideas and display, and reflects the meaning of youngness and the black of the world today. Most of his themes live in modern times, wearing braids, braids and perforations. They sometimes say strange strangeness, and they are always black.
At the same time, IMran Tilde, an African -American, who produces art from Kaduna in northern Nigeria, is establishing an end of the post -world ending. The earth has succumbed to global warming. Humans are in a new planet. Seeking asylum, on this new planet, humans and robots are common residents. There is a familiar person in strangers: Dagin Arewa or “Northern Nen” and other northern identities, such as Arewa’s dressing method (religiously affected by religion is very great ) And social norms.
Although these artists have never cooperated, their history, identities and views are integrated together in their common Nigerian experience (probably diverse), which has become a mortar to consolidate the cohesive structure. The works created by these artists when copying their personal traits are rich and real, and are part of the disapproving dialogue about geography and culture in the greater conversation of our role.

“My experience has shaped my artwork,” Azekwoh told Observer. “A good example is Jesus ChristieThis is my childhood. I grew up Catholics, I remember how to reproduce my understanding of Jesus Christ, and then do this. “Indeed, most of Azekwoh’s creation comes from his explanation of these religious figures and portraits.
For Osinachi, the black “comes from interrogation”. Even if he expressed his strange thoughts (in a way to speak), just like the assumption of the blessed Virgin Mary, Osinachi inserted his identity into part of this auditor. exist HypothesisOsinachi reproduces the Baroque works of Italian painter Guercino, using Adammụọ and Cherubs to replace Virgin Mary with the characters in children’s TV programs. As the only woman in the Temple of Ibo, the emergence of Adammi (Adammụọ) has strengthened Osinachi, that is, his work stems from the trial. It seems that the simple exchange is the similarities caused by the two respected characters (once a living woman, now a spiritual performer), which makes this work the product of the province in depth.
Just like Azekwoh and Osinachi, Tilde’s art works reflect all aspects of his culture. Even if he tells an unrealistic story in the future, his cultural aspects have also cut history, religion and contemporary society. Tild said: “I am enthusiastic about our planet, global warming and our collective future, and my culture, so I try to ensure that this is reflected in artworks.” The dress of his objects, the surrounding buildings around , Arewa and other symbols fix his works in one place and time, even if he reflects a possible future.
Anthony Azekwoh，Jacon Osinachi和Imran Tilde之间的一场意想不到的谈话共同宣布：“我们在每个传说，每个创作故事，每个历史上都在这里。我们现在都以各种形式，形状和In the direction. Eden And Osinachi Adam and SteveFor example, these artists challenged the history they were accepted and proved that it could be black and Kuer. Their work constitutes a revolutionary behavior. The radical re -interpretation of the religious myth observed by the black and Queer lens has transformed the things they created to re -add, reclamation and from the garden of Eden to the eternal journey.
In Nigeria, a new black man unfolds parallel and flows at the same time: AZEKWOH weaves a story about world history. From the perspective of black people, it is not uninterrupted by colonialism or whiteness, and Osinachi has selected this thread. To illustrate this clue to explain how wonderful this point is. Black-Unpolished and unbridled by colonial invasion) was eliminated. When Tilde brought these concepts to the time before, he explored his Arewa identity in a distant future.
