African Elegance is Tunde’s first solo exhibition in the UK. It is an exquisite reflection of African traditional fashion, which celebrates the inimitability of this great continent. The exhibition will consist of paintings of an eclectic mix Africans from all corners of the continent. The time-honoured adornments that they wear including jewellery and fabrics for different occasions with different meanings and significance are a major influence in each painting. The poignant use of visual imagery and daring use of colour are key components of Owolabi’s artistic vision. Making a bold and exciting statement on how African art is to be interpreted in the modern age; African Elegance is a superb reflection of his talent.

I have been an artist since i was a child, and i wish to study interactive design and game developement in the U.S. i am looking for any one who can give me any form of assistance in pursuing my hearts desire. i am suffering in silence, because art isnt really appreciated over here, and drawing/character design is the one thing i know i do best (i have a strong foundation in western art, this i owe to the nature of my upbringing, and sources of inspiration) . i would be glad to show you some of my art works, if you would want to see them. Thank you so much and God bless.
