"I will not accept an inferior position in the art world. Nor have my art called African because I have not correctly and properly given expression to my reality. I have consistently fought against that kind of philosophy because it’s bogus...." #odinigwebenedictchukwukadibiaenwonwu #benenwonwu #nigerian #artist #painter #sculptor #deathanniversary #practicedying https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MO-plHCre/?igshid=jryjbcrdxhbl

“African Dances,” 1980, bronze sculpture by Ben Enwonwu. I love the way this piece was lit so that the shadow becomes part of the overall effect. #benenwonwu #sculpture #bronze #shadow #dancer #africanart #africanartists #dc (at National Museum of African Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5eOSEllDQJ/?igshid=zhpwg55hj1mi

#BlackHistoryMonth A celebration of the rich & important culture contributions & achievements both past & present! 2018 has been a most exciting one in the #arts From the important & groundbreaking @KehindeWiley’s official portrait of #BarackObama @asherald’s of #MichelleObama incl @nytimes frontpage Important museum exhibitions @derrickadamsny @madmuseum @mickalenethomas with #KerryJamesMarshall & Robert Colescott @seattleartmuseum to the #BlackPantherMovie 😉 to Today’s world record for #Nigerian masterpiece 'Tutu' by the father of Nigerian modernism #BenEnwonwu expected to fetch £300,000, sold for £1,205,000 / $1.720.000 - the missing artwork had been found in a "modest north London flat" sold in London today @bonhams a record for a modern Nigerian artist. The 1974 painting of the #Ife princess Adetutu Ademiluyi, known as #Tutu, a national icon in #Nigeria, and of huge cultural significance, became a symbol of reconciliation after Nigeria's Biafra conflict. Novelist Ben Okri said its discovery was "the most significant in contemporary #Africanart in 50 years". Mr Enwonwu, painted 3 versions of Tutu. All three went missing after his death in 1994. The whereabouts of the other Tutu paintings remain a mystery. @bonhamsafricanart image: Benedict Chukwukadibia Enwonwu M.B.E (Nigerian, 1917-1994) Tutu signed and dated 'BEN ENWONWU/ 1974' oil on canvas One of 3 paintings of an Ile- Ife princess Adetutu Ademiluyi, granddaughter of the Ooni of Ife, it was until recently, overshadowed by the first and most widely acclaimed 'Tutu', painted a year earlier in 1973. Limited edition prints of this work adorn many homes all over the world. Ile- Ife remains an important town in the artist’s life because it was here, at the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) that he was appointed Nigeria’s first professor of fine art in 1971. __________________________ #africanartist #nigerianart #blackmonalisa #africanamerican #art #modernart #modernartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #kehindewiley #amysherald #mynpg #MickaleneThomas #DerrickAdams #blackexcellence #wakandaforever #bhm (at Kingdom of Wakanda)

IAM that IAM

I create until nothing is left but my legacy

The Tiny White Wall Gallery presents “IAM that IAM,” a multi-city art show culminating in pieces from an international selection of over 15 black artists exploring the depths of black consciousness, heritage and identity. Poised to carry on the aesthetic values of the likes of #BenEnwonwu “the father of African Modernism”, the Negritude, and the Harlem Renaissance movement, IAM that IAM is a joyous expression of black pride by visual artists ranging from a multitude of mediums and styles from old masters to Neo-Afroism. Born from a trending social call to black artists of all backgrounds and ages, IAM that IAM is now creating open spaces in Baltimore, New York City and Washington D.C. to celebrate the aesthetic value of the black mark...

IAM that IAM showcases the versatility and nuances of the modern black arts movement. The thematic expressions that embody these artists’ collections of work include themes of fractured identity, justice —or lack thereof—and beauty within the black expression and the specific contexts from which it emerges across the globe.
