In the artists' words

Artist Statements

Statements are published here as they're received from participating artists, organized by exhibition.

For Exh. 01 — Jesse Praiz: Through the Collector's Eye

Jesse Praiz

JessePraizArt (@JaycPraiz)

JessePraizArt (@JaycPraiz) is a Nigerian multidisciplinary fine artist who loves working with charcoal, graphite, pastels, acrylic, and oil paints.

As an artist who has experienced ethno-religious and political crises, he perceives past experiences as undertones to our survival, and our futuristic hopes and ambitions as reasons for survival too. All of this encompasses our existence.

He is a fan of life's beauty, which is why his works are centered on life's inherent activities, human experiences, identity, love, and futuristic hope — all of which he expresses as treasures of reality.

For Exh. 02 — The Strength of a Woman
