             Artist biography: Judah Jibrin - Nigeria


Judah Jibrin, artist introduced by IAC (International Art Caravan), is one of a kind Nigerian painter who uses the attributes of Nigerian art in multiple styles going from naturalism to abstraction.


Judah Jibrin graduated in 2008 from the prestigious Zaria Art School from Nigeria. Since then, he participated in a number of group exhibitions and in a solo exhibition « Riches of the land » in Iwalewa Art Gallery in 2021 in Lagos.


Inspired by the need to tap from elements of Nigeria’s cultural diversity, Judah Jibrin creates works of arts that celebrate life and beauty, work and play, love and harmony.



 


Artist biography: Clement Mmaduako Nwafor - Nigeria


Clement Mmaduako Nwafor is a contemporary artist from Abuja - Nigeria. In 2008, he started his apprenticeship in sculpture under Master Philip Nzekwe. In 2011, he also developed his skills on painting under renowned artist, Master Oswald Uruakpa.


The mixed media paintings of Clement Nwafor are usually realized with mix of oil paint and collage of local fabrics. Colourful nigerian head wraps "Nigerian gele" are the main feature of his paintings.


Clement Nwafor has done a lot of group and solo exhibitions locally and internationally. He has also participated in many art competitions (first prize award of the "National Visual Art" and ranked one of the top of the "Life In My City Art Festival" in 2014).






Artist biography: Franck N’Goran – Ivory Coast


Franck N'Goran is graduated of the School of Fine Arts of Abidjan - Ivory Coast. He is currently a painter and a professor of Visual Arts in Abidjan.


His work lies in the search for texture, the feeling of touch and color. He uses a mixed technique with the collage of newspaper paper, lotus leaves...


Franck N'Goran’s artistic concept is entitled "Bleatran Art". 


This means "stay together" in Baoulé, his mother tongue. It is a symbol of union, of connection, of cultural mixing, of the intermingling of peoples to achieve a world without violence or racism. This perfect harmony of the world is symbolized in his works by crossed lines and a mixture of bright, warm and cold colors.



We look forward to viewing the Artworks by these Artists represented by IAC- International Art Caravan.

Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view | Miabo Enyadike

  Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view   I enjoy painting abstract art silhouettes especially faces.The simple reason is I can manipulate the profile of an individual, with several layers of color. Color for me is an integral part of my art aesthetics I allow color to lead my creative process in the way I see the art I am about to create.            Silhouette of a woman; Abstract Art; by miabo enyadike. My Abstract Art this week is all about using colors to create a simple silhouette, of a woman and a man. When I decided to create this particular abstract painting, it was more of emphasis on color than on the human profile.

Contemporary Abstract Expressionism Art to View By Miabo Enyadike

Contemporary Abstract Expressionism Art - Colors and Lines                    Imagine life without color, I have tried too, but I have found it so impossible to envisage. The simple reason, is every where we turn there are colors, tones, hues and lines in such harmony. The inspiration behind these abstract faces series is harmonising colors and lines in an expressionist style.                                  This abstract collection is colors and lines, in which I decided to explore the use of  colors, creating tones and shades, using blurry and sharp lines created with ink to emphasis a synergy between  the two.                                                            ...
