About Artist
Born in 1963. Trained at Zaria Art School with B.A. (Hons) 1990, MFA 1998 and PhD. 2015. He teaches Painting and Drawing at the Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo, Nigeria. He does not only engage in teaching and research activities; he is also a studio practicing artist who has participated in over 30 group art exhibitions and 4 solo shows at local and international levels. He has also executed several commissioned art projects within and outside the country.
His conceptual narratives focus on man’s response to his inner being – the unconscious, subconscious, and conscious states (based on theories of Sigmund Freud, 1856 - 1939). The painting series recounts; that what life gives to man is neither limited to what nature makes available to him nor what is obtainable by him. Often, man does not have total control over what accrues to him. Some unseen forces prevail to make things happen either positively or negatively.

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.

His artistic journey includes training under renowned bead painting contemporary artist Jimoh Buraimoh...
