Nigerian Independent Art Goes Worldwide With The Seek Project
Art, Art Shouts, CultureKaro Akpokiere is a mover and shaker in the Nigerian art/illustration and print scene, and now he’s taking his vision worldwide. We at Zouch could not ignore his avante-garde sensibilities:
His ideas and character designs are unique. Check out this cute ninja:
Shebi is the naive, universal warrior of peace. The creation of Shebi is inspired by a ‘letter E’ I drew, Ninjas and Cute starry-eyed characters. – K.A.
Things get really interesting when the work crosses over to the real world, depicting urban sights and sounds.
Karo has also made a load of contributions of ‘daily drawings’ while networking and sharing ideas with artists from around the world via twitter. Below is an example of these, a remarkable mosaic of four owl-shaped figures. Check out more of these here, and look for them to pop up on the The Zouch Pamphlet from time to time.
It’s unbelievable how prolific this cat is as an artist.
