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.

- The PairingLocated in Ibadan, Oyo"The Pairing" is a visually captivating artwork that immediately draws the viewer into its world of balance and harmony. Created with meticulous attention to detail using oil on canvas, the piece depicts two elements, symbolized by two figures that appear almost seamlessly connected. The intricate composition and vibrant colors employed by Azeez add depth and richness to the narrative. The composition of "The Pairing" is central to its narrative, highlighting the concept of balance and unity. The two figures, starkly different in demeanor, seem to be locked in a delicate dance, symbolizing the interdependence and equilibrium that underlie our existence. One figure radiates warmth, with soft, curved lines and soothing colors, representing elements of comfort and familiarity. The other figure, in contrast, exudes vibrancy and vitality, marked by bold angles and contrasting hues that suggest energy and dynamism. The juxtaposition of these elements illustrates the complementary nature of opposites and the harmony that can arise from their pairing. At its heart, "The Pairing" conveys a powerful message about the beauty of diversity and the harmony that can emerge from embracing contrasting elements. The artwork serves as a reminder that our world is enriched by the interplay of opposing forces, and it is through the coming together of these elements that balance and unity are achieved. In an age marked by division and polarization, "The Pairing" encourages us to celebrate our differences and seek common ground. It underscores the idea that, by recognizing the value of diverse perspectives and experiences, we can create a more harmonious and balanced world. As we engage with "The Pairing," we are reminded of the profound interconnectedness of all things and the potential for beauty and balance to emerge from the interplay of opposites. Azeez's work serves as a visual testament to the enduring power of harmony and unity, leaving a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to experience it.
