About Artist
Abiodun Nafiu Azeez is an accomplished artist with a diverse background in contemporary painting, particularly Osogbo art. However, his true passion lies in abstract expression, where he seeks to promote African art, culture, and nature. Influenced by his artist father, he paints to preserve memories and connect with broader societal concerns.
Abiodun's artistic style is characterized by the abstraction and simplification of human compositions. He employs vibrant oil colors, often focusing on primary colors that transition into secondary and tertiary hues. His subjects stand out against neutral backgrounds, creating a harmonious balance in his paintings. A prominent feature in his works is the use of red, blue, and yellow tones, subtly blended to emphasize form and shape.
His artistic journey includes training under renowned bead painting contemporary artist Jimoh Buraimoh and studying at The Universal Studio of Arts in Lagos, Nigeria. Currently pursuing a graduate research program at the University of Benin, Abiodun previously studied fine and applied art at the same university and holds a diploma in fine art from The Polytechnic of Ibadan, Nigeria.
Abiodun has a rich exhibition history, participating in numerous local and international exhibitions, including the "Miniature Art Fair, Lagos, Nigeria" in 2021, "Annual Art Exhibition, Crowne Art Gallery, Benin, Nigeria" in 2018, Yoruba Ni Mi, International Art Exhibition Group Show, Yoruba Gallery, Uk in 2022, Art for Cause, Online International Art Exhibition, 2022
Throughout his artistic journey, Abiodun draws inspiration from his father's work, aiming to translate his imagination, African culture, and environmental subjects into visual representations. He seeks to breathe new life into African culture and tradition by utilizing the Osogbo Art style to express himself and promote African Art.

Leader and Followers
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Leader and Followers" is a visually striking piece of art that immediately captures the viewer's attention. The artwork, which was created using a combination of oil colors, features a central figure standing tall and confident, representing the "Leader." Surrounding this central figure are several smaller figures, representing the "Followers."
Azeez's "Leader and Followers" is a profound allegory that explores the complex dynamics between leaders and their followers in society. The central figure, portrayed as powerful and charismatic, serves as a representation of leadership. This character appears larger than life, evoking a sense of authority and control.
The surrounding smaller figures represent the followers, who, in contrast, appear diminutive and fragmented. Their faces are obscured, and their bodies are twisted and contorted, symbolizing the idea that followers may often lose their individuality and autonomy in their pursuit of leadership. Azeez seems to suggest that leaders can exert a significant influence over their followers, shaping their thoughts, behaviors, and even identities.
"Leader and Followers" challenges viewers to reconsider their assumptions about leadership and followership. It raises questions about the responsibilities of leaders, the agency of followers, and the potential for both positive and negative outcomes when these roles intersect.
Azeez's work invites us to reflect on the role of leadership in shaping society. It prompts us to ask whether leaders should be held accountable for the actions and choices of their followers. It also encourages us to consider the ethical implications of the power that leaders wield over their followers.
