‘GOGOISM’- ART E-XHIBITION & MOVEMENT

We present to you our 6th gallery e-xhibition! Okay, okay, so we know it’s been quite a while since we had one (since Ankeli’s e-xhibition in March), but we are making it up to you in a big way now. We present to you a master artist, Gogo Anyanwu, and his stunning collection of paintings (18 in number) -all available for sale!

Gogo has a broad artistic range which is reflected in this e-xhibition. From impressionist works like ‘Anchored‘ and ‘Eze nmuo‘ to abstracts such as ‘ Nze-Okaruo‘ and ‘Harvest‘, he tells the story of his African environment. In ‘African Lady‘, you get a strong sense of cubism, Braque and Picasso, while ‘Nze-Okaruo‘ plays with caricature, colour, and orphism in a way that would have tickled Delaunay. The Fauvist painting style of ‘Nwanyi‘ and ‘Agboho‘ do not pass unnoticed to the trained eye, nor does the fiery glow in the background of ‘Bonny Village‘ to the untrained, the texture of clothing in ‘Nkponkiti‘, the symbolic use of a peaceful, monochromatic blue in ‘Rest‘ and ‘Jumeta Village‘, the fluid, carefree brush strokes of ‘Dancers‘ that bring it to life with motion and rhythm. These are all very conscientious decisions by the artist. While Gogo adopts many known styles in his productions, he is not bound by them but rather approaches them in his own way. An eclectic approach, which we have fondly dubbed ‘Gogoism’.

So without further ado, let’s explore Gogo’s world of artistic expression! By the time you’re done, you’ll most likely understand his works and his style better than we could have explained it. His works have been exhibited both locally and abroad.
