About Artist
Achike Anayo Mircle, Born in 1986 in Anambra state Nigeria is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Lagos Nigeria. He holds a Higher National Diploma in Painting from the School of Art and Design at Auchi Polytechnic. He is an experimental artist interested in exploring possibilities with acrylics, oils, charcoal, and pen and incorporating other media and found objects to create collages and mixed media works. Highly known for his distorted human figures.
The human figure typically embodies the narratives he wants to share with his audience. He covers the eyes of police officers with Nigerian/foreign currencies to delineate their obsession with extortion and bribery. The bulgy eyes of his subjects depict the fact that we live in a generation where everyone is exposed, knowledgeable, and wise in their own eyes, without realizing that they can also self-imprison themselves with their knowledge.
The stretched necks of his figures portray the insatiable nature of man/woman, in all their getting and achievements man keeps looking for and striving to acquire more., the absence of the ear in his figures is his way of reckoning that people of his generation do not listen and often go against advice, counsel, or rebuke.
He uses his art not just as a hobby, but as a means of communicating, preaching, and advocating for global peace, love, tolerance, justice, self-esteem, and a better world for the human race. He is a member of the Society of Nigerian Artists(SNA) and the Pan-African Circle of Artists(PACA). His works have been exhibited in Nigeria and internationally and rising in global art collections.

View AllBeyond the Limits
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Beyond the Limits is a work that explains what youth in a developing country goes through. Most youth who have to experience the squalor of a developing economy are characterized by wholesale dejection and despair with many of them resorting to drug use and various crimes that jeopardized their lives.
Many cannot see a future beyond their present abode. Artist Busari Adewale...

Desires 1
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The painting titled "Desires 1" is a beautiful work of art that depicts two women sitting across from each other, engaged in what seems to be a deep and meaningful conversation. The painting, created by Esinulo Chiamaka Praise, features an older woman and a younger woman, each holding a white flower, which adds a sense of purity and serenity to the scene.
The older woman, who appears to be in his 50s, and the younger woman, who looks to be in his 20s, are both dressed in a more simple dress. Both women are seated on chairs, with their faces turned towards each other in a relaxed yet focused manner.
The title of the painting, "Desires 1," adds an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene, as it hints at the possibility of underlying desires and motivations between the two women. However, the painting does not provide any clear answers or indications of what those desires might be, leaving the interpretation up to the viewer.
Wisdom is gathered from lessons learned from experiences. Time and age guide a man through life as regards choices or wants... One possible interpretation of the painting is that it represents the passing of knowledge and wisdom from one generation to the next. The older woman appears to be sharing something with the younger woman, who listens intently and respectfully. The white flowers that both women are holding could be seen as symbols of purity and innocence, representing the purity of the knowledge and wisdom being shared.
What you want today may not be what you would want tomorrow, wants change with time. Experiences and age have an influence on choices. Responsibilities are given with time. What is your desire now?
Another interpretation of the painting is that it represents a deep and meaningful conversation between two people who share a close and intimate relationship. The fact that both women are holding white flowers suggests a sense of purity and love between them, while their relaxed and focused expressions indicate a sense of comfort and ease in each other's presence.
In terms of technique, the painting is expertly executed, with rich colors and intricate details that bring the scene to life. Keating's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, while the placement of the two men in the center of the painting draws the viewer's attention to their faces and the emotions that are portrayed in them.
Overall, "Desires 3" is a beautiful and thought-provoking painting that captures the essence of a deep and meaningful conversation between two people. It is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection, leaving the viewer with a sense of curiosity and wonder about the motivations and desires of the two women in the painting.
