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

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.                                                            ...

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. I wanted to see what the outcome of the creative process would look like.  Also to see if and when the human features are covered in colors, other than our natural colors would this Art evoke any emotions?... that simply belies the fact, that color seems to be one the many problems we have in our so...

Abstract Art Faces Ideas to View Now | By Miabo Enyadike

  Abstract Art Faces Ideas to View Now Indigo Blue color is a color tone, I have come to know and love. This color was huge in the late seventies, in my home country of Nigeria. It is a  blue color, I remember vividly that was used on fabrics to create what we know as Adire(Tie dye) pronounced Ah-d-rear.               FACES IN BLUE ABSTRACT PAINTING BLOG The Inspiration for this series is drawn from the blue tye-dye fabric in my home country, where different shades and tones of blue are applied on white cotton through natural dyes to create a traditional textile design called Adire.  This used to be an ancient textile Art of dying pure cotton fabric for days in a dye pit dug in the ground, using natural elements that create this awesome blue hue, and this method of traditional dyeing is still used till this very day. In my early childhood in Nigeria, early seventies, everywhere you turned at that time or era everyone had an A...

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women by Miabo Enyadike

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women  Drawing women and their expressions is something, I am truly interested in. Female profiles and faces in abstract is intriguing and Ink drawings, are a way for me to throw that notion out there, of a female portrait created differently.  This is something that is important to me as a woman artist, this matters.                                                                                                                 I draw faces in a way that is uncomplicated  and easy to read, in a rather caricature way though not comical, with ink, it is easy to let the colors flow so that they create for me, the facial contours and structure.  My emphasis...

My Art Weekend Project with Clipboards by Miabo Enyadike

                     Abstract art on clipboards                                       My weekend, was one I spent lazing around in my pjs, eating  flatbread and hummus.  Sounds crazy or weird but for me, it was fun and a bit out of the norm.  The weird part, was not the choice of food or being in my PJ's all day, but the brief I got from a client who commissioned me to create abstract Art on clipboards for him 10 days ago.                                 Well, I have done decoupage on clipboards but actual painting no.  Not only was I not so sure, his brief was equally abstract to say the least, "just paint me anything abstract on these clipboards he said".             ...
