An art exhibition aimed at introducing Abuja's finest emerging artists to the public opened on Thursday, 23rd January, at the Bamboo House in Maitama, Abuja.
The
multi-genre exhibition titled ‘The Artist and His Medium’ was hosted by
Achara Fusion Theatre. There were on display the works of French
photographer and architect, Mr. Ferrante Ferranti, and works from the
National Gallery of Canada. It also featured works by Mr. Godwin Tom, a
visual artist, Mr. Chuba Ike, a textile artist, among others.
The
Canadian Ambassador to Nigeria, Amb. Perry Calderwood, who was at the
event, congratulated the Achara Foundation and the National Gallery of
Arts for putting together a wonderful event.
The
curator, Mr. Bill Uko, said the exhibition was his way of cultivating
new art audiences who are just beginning to take an interest in
acquiring art, either as investment pieces or just because they identify
with the message of a particular artist.
The exhibition is open till Thursday Jan 30, 2014.
