AMIAF 2023 Participating Artist-Popoola Nurudeen
Sponsored by El Anatsui, in 2022, Popoola Nurudeen exhibited an off-exhibition in Senegal's Dak'Art Biennale as a top prize-winner in the Life in My City Art Festival.
While his artworks are easy to love, they focus on expressing and stamping the modernity of Africanism. Popoola's practice is centered around creating a reverie visualization of African youths, male or female, as a call of clarion to maintain the identity of their heritage.
He is the winner of the World Bipolar Day Art Competition (2018). He has been featured in exhibitions by Didi Museum (Passing on The Touch, 2012); the Lagos Art and Fashion Exhibition (2015); United Nations Information Centre (2017); amongst others.
Popoola is the overall best-graduating student in the School of Art, Design, and Printing, Yaba College of Technology Lagos, 2016. Also, in 2014 and 2015, he received the award of Best Student in Painting.
He is a former lecturer at The Ultimate University Porto Novo, Benin Republic.
He had his first solo exhibition "EVOLVE" in February 2021. His works have been collected both by reputable galleries and art collectors.
Popoola Nurudeen is set to display his adorable artworks as one of the beneficiaries of the Artmiabo International Art Festival's free slots opened to promote fast-rising emerging artists.
