JOY
-
This exhibition takes viewers on a captivating journey through a multitude of themes, including environmental concerns, the state of our nation, cultural commentary, and tradition. The works featured here are a testament to the joy that arises from the artistic process, a joy that is both valuable and hard-earned along the often solitary path of creativity.
Through events, workshops, studio internships, and apprenticeships, these artists have taught and mentored generations of younger artists. They have exhibited their works in Nigeria and abroad, and have collectively made huge sacrifices and contributions to the development and growth of contemporary art in Africa.
We invite you to immerse yourself in the world of these accomplished artists from the GFA, and we trust that their work will not only bring you joy but also foster a greater appreciation for this indispensable generation of artists, who have served as the cornerstone for many of today's Nigerian contemporary artists.
