Come May 28 and 29 2016, the collaborative team of A2Creative and Osa7 will present the first edition of The 7th Element – a unique platform set up to showcase Graffiti artists in Nigeria.
The exhibition will feature a presentation of works by foremost Graffiti artist Osa Okunkpolor
with focus on works Osa has created in the last six months including a
number of major new urban art pieces.
One of the exciting things about
this exhibition is that it’s not just about the Art, but serves as a
melting pot of creativity – from installations, to music, contortion
performances, and projection mapping.
This is the first time Osa7 will be
exhibiting his art in a public space. His work is not limited to canvas
or walls – Osa7 will be creating artwork on shoes, drink cans, tires,
kegs, and on a car as a prelude to his next art project that promotes
recycling.
Osa sees himself not just as an artist, but also as a Conduit, with his work as a springboard.
“Graffiti has evolved over the years from just tagging your name on walls in one color, to experimenting with different colors, huge pieces, always been a beautiful and creative way to express feelings from the beginning of time”
Adaora Mbelu- Dania, Head Of Innovation at A2 Creative says
Osa Okunkpolor popularly known, as Osa 7
is an urban GFX and Graffiti Artiste with a passion for telling stories
using contemporary art, he began making art with stencils, spray paint,
epoxy, varnish, paper and boards as his chosen medium. Significantly,
the way in which he tells the story through art resonates with older and
younger generations of artists.
