AMIAF 2023: Participating Artist Oladele Ogbeyemi | Artmiabo

 

 AMIAF 2023, Participating Artist Oladele Ogbeyemi 





Oladele Ogbeyemi sometimes surreal masterpieces are in the private collections of a Belgium Ambassador and the King of Morocco. In 2011, he won the Ben Enwonwu Foundation (BEF) award in Sculpture. He is a full-time experimental visual artist and a member of the Society of Nigerian Artists (SNA).
A mentee of master metal sculptor Fidelis Odogwu and trainee at Universal Studios of Art, Oladele Ogbeyemi has further established himself as a celebrated recycle spokesman through his revolutionary found-metal sculptures.
He uses retired household tools and scrap metals to achieve his rhetorical methodology surrounding the social, cultural, political, and economic attitude of Africans towards the reuse of waste and its proper management.
His expertise as a draughtsman and painter has greatly empowered his passion as a disciple of recycling to produce abnormal collectibles. Hence, his selection as one of the AMIAFSLOT2023 visual artists from over 100 entries received from all around.


Oladele Ogbeyemi deviant pieces will be exhibited at the 2023 Artmiabo Intern’l Art Festival themed "artofafrobeats" from Thursday 27th April to Monday 1st May 2023 at the Ebonylife Place, Victoria Island, Lagos State.
More to come... 😍❤️😇
