Banjoko presents multidimensional art at AMIAF 2023


Festival Announcement

Congratulations to Babatundé Banjoko an AMIAF Awardee.
We are pleased to announce FRANCE-based designer Babatunde Banjoko, one of the designers of Fela’s album covers, publicity materials and band costumes, will celebrate Afrobeat uniquely.


He's art in illustration and branding traverses Africa and has been confirmed as one of the participating artists and he will be receiving an Afrobeats award for his contribution to the Afrobeats culture at the 2023 ArtMiabo International Art Festival (AMIAF) themed ‘Art of Afrobeats’. Juxtaposition of fine art and performance art exhibition.
The festival from April 27th to May 1st at Ebonylife Place, Victoria Island, Lagos, is an unusual visual arts festival focusing on the trajectory of the Afrobeat music genre.
One of those inspired by the late maverick, Banjoko disclosed that he is “bringing into the ‘Arts of Afrobeat’ festival, the narrative years of design collaboration with the late Fela Kuti, who was the precursor of the genre that has since gone international.”
He added that whatever glory is being celebrated currently about Afrobeats, the genre’s trajectory can’t be denied, which “gave birth and credence to the Afrobeats derivation. This is factual.”
For example, Banjoko recalled how he brought his art skills into working with Fela. “Afrobeat famous compositions and moods are incorporated into album covers, designed with mixed mediums of expression.”
He also explained how Afrobeat has influenced what he described as his “dynamic approaches in rendering some of Fela’s record covers, newspaper adverts, concert posters, costume design for the lady dancers and patterns on some of the Afrobeat legend’s costumes and shoes.”
We are indeed pleased to have babatunde at the festival as he will not only be part of the narrative, he will be exhibiting his current Art portfolio also....to read the full article about babatunde use the link below

MY ARTIST DEFINITION/EXPERIENCE An Artist is one that is creatively free-spirited meaning one that creates a world around themselves that conforms to the life they portray through their works. The life of the artist is simple yet complicated with ideas on how everything from food, clothing, lifestyle, music, how kids are raised, environment and social issues should be interpreted.  Most artists express these views through various forms of visual and fine art and it is left for interpretation by the viewer or people in general who view this art and are sometimes confused about the Artists true genuine intentions and reasoning.  Most artist if not all have experienced this confusion from the audience, gallery owners, collectors, sponsors, and family.  My experience with most galleries, I ...

Several Ways to Promote Your Art Online and Offline by Artmiabo

Several Ways to Promote Your Art  Art is truly in the eyes of the beholder, who love what they see immediately, but the purchasing of the Art is a different ball game.  People tend to make a decision to buy your art after several views that is the way it works.   For some fewer views and they buy, while others several views before a collector makes a purchase.             Abstract Flower Painting, Wall Art,  by Miabo Enyadike The reason for these disparities is sometimes, name recognition could prompt a quick purchase or good presentation of your Art could be a factor.  While on the other hand poor presentation, costing, need, and relevance could lead to delays.  The issues here are relative, there is no quick magic to sell your art, you just have to put it out there for people to see and decide for themselves.  I have been fortunate to be in the Art business for over 20 years, so I have a...
