"The Dancer Salute" Expressionist Gouache by Austino Obi Okafor

About the Item

Stunning gouache painting of a dancer-like figure by the artist Austino Obi Okafor. "The dancer salute" gives the artwork a full expressive dimension with their long span stretching to the sides of the work while bowing down to the audience. A Nigerian-born and trained fine artist, Austino does not lack inspiration for his work. He tells stories of his ancient culture and race with an equal amount of anguish and celebration, but his themes never lack a universal message. about love, war, sex, and spirituality; and Austino includes his own public in his favorite style of creation like in the live painting performance that he calls “Diffusion.” His color palette is lush like the natural surroundings of his homeland (Austino was raised in Cameroon, Africa); and his never-expiring passion for life and God makes each of his works unique and meaningful. Austino’s works are widely collected nationally and internationally,
