FEATURE
There is an emerging wave of new African
voices - unique voices, eschewing European or
American influences to be truly African. These
voices echo in Rele art gallery. Here,
photography meets abstract art from young
and vibrant African artists and photographers
like Ade Asiko Okelarin, Ibe Ananaba,
Eloghosa Osunde, Zainab Balogun, Dennis
Osadebe, Kayode Adegbola, Kelechi Amadi,
Uthman Wahab and many many more, to give
a fresh breathe of blackness and youth to the
Nigerian art scene.
The gallery managed by an art enthusiast;
Kehinde Afolabi, is run by young Africans so
passionate about art, they would wow you
with deep insights into African art, pop-culture
and universality. At intervals, they organize art
openings and exhibitions. These special
exhibitions draw people from different works
of life together in celebration of art.
