ART IN A CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN SOCIETY

 

 

Art in the world-over is the production of something beautiful in form of an expression of one’s thought in a symbolic manner. In African society, it is more of celebrated vocation which serves as prehistoric tools presented with exceptional skill and natural splendor.

 

 

Art is an important medium for entertainment and communication.

 

Art in its various forms is largely seen as the bedrock for the promotion of the following:

  • To sustain ancestral values which are at the verge of extinction as a result of developmental pluralism.

  • Art is used to represent the way of life of the people in a given community

  • It is used to convey ideological views in all fields of human endeavor

  • It also serves as a means by which ancient traditions are stored for posterity.

Cletus Oseloka Ugoabunwa

In my works, I try to accentuate the fading cultural heritage, the dignity and peculiar aesthetics of the art and traditions of my people, striving to keep it, despite our travails in the “shadow land”.

To my international audience, the purpose behind my art is dual:

  • To explore and expose the rich and dignified structure of African tribal and contemporary art.

  • To reflect on the complex philosophical contents of the exhibits and messages.

My work is committed to uplift your passion for African art and, more importantly, to erase the notion that they are fetishes. Black African art is aesthetic and, unquestionably dynamic.
