Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Prince Obasi (b. 1980's) is a figurative painter based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Educated at the prestigious Yaba College of Technology, Yaba, Lagos State, Obasi obtained a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Fine Art with a major in painting in 2009. Embarking on his artistic journey, Obasi taught visual art in several colleges before transitioning into full-time studio practice in 2019. Based in Port Harcourt, his studio is also known as OBASISM STUDIO. He is also a member of 'The Society of Nigeria Artists,' Rivers Chapter (SNA). He is a prolific painter, with an unfathomable bond with acrylic and charcoal as a medium to illuminate his artistic language of contemporary figurative art, with a self-discovery alteration of the human eyes. He is famous for the square eyes and pupils of his figures, which in a joyful and quirky way invite the viewer to take a closer look at the canvas. The immaculate details embedded in the dress and painted environments of his characters, make his canvases a unique vessel for representation of human character.

Figurehead
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
In the days when every seaport had its figurehead to show, this same day calls for free, I must go save these countrymen, my honorable crew if they still breathe. I must sail deep down north again, with strong men and skillful hands. All I ask this day is dread naught and a star to steer her as the people blare for salvaging; And all I ask again is a windy day and a friendly storm at night, And a sweet dream with my shipment when the long cruise is over.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Ayandare Adeniran, Ayanmuyiwa (born 1991) is an Artist who hails from Ogbomosho, Oyo state, Nigeria. At his early stage of life, his artistic talents sprang up and his parent helped to develop them by providing him with what they understood he needed by buying drawing books, crayons, and watercolors among others to help his creative skills. After his primary and secondary education, he received a Nigeria Certificate on Education (NCE) from a prestigious college; the Federal College of Education (SPECIAL), Oyo, where he studied Fine and Applied Arts. Musa Ibrahim was the first practicing Artist who helped Ayandare in his Artistic career which was during a compulsory Industrial Training program for students in the Fine Arts department. After College, yawning for knowledge and flare for artistic work dragged him to Arowolo Wasiu, a metal sculptor who trained him in sculpting metal. A thirst for one's zeal can only be quenched by following the path thus making him proceed to TOPE FATUNMBI...
