ROYAL STREET 2 - 2023
Oil on Canvas | 120 x 150 cm
From the Artist :
"A series of studies of conceptual representations of the breakdown of once thriving cities. The inspiration stemming from the brown architectural design settings is archetypal of what is found in northern Nigeria, spreading to North African countries. A cradle of civilisation at a time in history."
From the Curator :
"It is a vibrant and dynamic composition, executed with layered, expressive brushstrokes, adding a textured, almost impasto effect, which gives the artwork a sense of depth and vitality. The colour palette is complex and warm, dominated by yellows, oranges, and browns, with splashes of green and blue, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere."

About the artist
John Oyedemi, hailing from South Nigeria was born in 1966, resides and practises in Bukuru. Graduating from the Department of Fine Arts at the renowned Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. Oyedemi perceives art as a means for individuals to construct an alternative reality, offering a second perspective on existence through imagination.
Currently a lecturer at the University of Jos, his Durbar paintings illustrate "Padanci" in the Hausa language, vivid portraits of wealth and power.
He spent his early years in the market selling any item that could bring money, "it was an exciting moment in life with so many stories to tell today", he recalls.
He likes to combine the impasto colour technique for thematic analysis of the events, combined with an impressionist approach to his subjects, to bring the very essence of the moment to the fore. Over the last 25 years, he has expressed his passion for North Nigeria's scenery and royalties through his iconic equestrian and Durbar scenes.
