BOLAJI AREMU'S BIOGRAPHY
|
Bolaji
Aremu is a young but seasoned artist and performer with a
record of accomplishment in the artistic, educational and
social arenas. A native of Nigeria, now residing in
Ghana, Bolaji characterizes his style as an artist as a
controlled attempt to fuse the bulk of sculptured figures with
two dimensional art. He describes his work as employing
variations of concentric lines and somewhat raw color as the
stimulus to motivate the viewer's field of interest and move the
eyes along the surface of the canvas. Bolaji is a master artist
who creates works that are dazzling, thought provoking,
whimsical, dramatic and fun. He works in a variety of media
including serigraphs, monotypes, lithographs, acrylics
watercolors, and mixed media collages. "As an artist, many
times I create what I feel, think and see in the world around
me," explains Bolaji, "It is often times a window into
my very soul. I pour out myself onto the canvas. What you see in
everything I do is a very small piece of my being." Bolaji
is an artist who grows and changes. He challenges and stretches
himself, never falling back on what he has done in the past.
What he masters today will be history tomorrow. |
