Ozo Ezeogu’s “Break the Kolanut”: A Modern Twist on Tradition

Ozo Ezeogu's "Break the Kolanut" is a powerful exploration of African culture through a contemporary lens. From the rich symbolism to the impeccable execution, every detail tells a story. Have you seen it yet? Share your thoughts!

Ozo Ezeogu, the comic book wizard who’s made waves in Nigeria and beyond, has stepped out of the panel and onto the canvas with his latest masterpiece, “Break the Kolanut.” With the echoes of The Holy Art Gallery’s recent exhibition (which held in London from July 19 – 28) still ringing, it’s high time we delved into Ozo Ezeogu’s exhibit. Break the Kolanut by Ozo Ezeogu This isn’t just another…

Morning sketch before I surrender my day to work. I’m corny for this but idc lol it’s been in my head for ages .

Also , why Beyonce so hard to draw? it’s weird cuz her face is round and all her features seem memorable but it’s a fine line between being her and just literally a random lady . Idk try it.

I’ve been seeing a lot of cool Gustav Klimt and Mucha pieces in my dash and on facebook , then earlier a friend of mine shared a song he’s working on and I got an idea for a woman who’s in love with a song but knows that by the end of however long it is she’ll never be able to hear it for the first time again . Like, the thrill of knowing you love something cuz it’s new and trying to hold onto being in the moment . Like trying to cherish it and also be in IT and remember it all while feeling it. Idk. Zoned out and had fun drawing lines around the shapes back to (real) work stuff .bah bye.

The Extraordinary Biro Pen Art of Enham Bosakah

Enham Lives and works in Ghana ( Africa )

As I grew older, I had to fulfill the dream within me which was producing art. I went to the University, studied art, got my degree and decided to have a feel of the reality on the field of practice before I plunged into a Masters of Fine Arts degree. I eventually got disappointed going in with so much energy and optimism but with no funds. But then, I had a pen and paper, a perfect media, I thought. That was how it all begun. And I am doing very well now.

There is no name for the style of drawing I do. There are a lot of lines and minute squares. I have not named my style as I will always change it, I didn’t want to keep to one confinement. It’s a freestyle.

I work in the evening, late in the night where I can draw without interruption. I can come back to a painting after a long time, unless I am commissioned to do a piece for a client. I do what I feel like doing at what time. But roughly, it takes about 3-4 days to make a piece.

"We told the white missionary that we had such fables too, but kept them for the entertainment of those yet growing up — fables of gods and devils and a supreme being above everything. We told him we knew soft minds needed such illusions, but that when any mind grew among us to adulthood it grew beyond these fables and came to understand that there is indeed a great force in the world, a force spiritual and able to shape the physical universe, but that that force is not something that is cut off, not something separate from ourselves. It is an energy in us, strongest in our working, breathing, thinking together as one people; weakest when we are scattered, confused, broken into individual, unconnected fragments."
