'EXPRESSION': Johannesburg
September 1 - 30 2016
From one of the exhibiting Artist
Solomon Omolayo Omogboye (a Nigerian and South Africa based artist):
...built on the sweat of thousands of souls, rising high above the sky...boasting of second largest in Africa. 'EGOLIA' founded 125 years ago home to millions of people from different tribes and culture, immigrants and indigenes. A beautiful city filled with competitive spirit and battle for survival embracing the inhabitants leaving them with questions of hope and determination. We can say the radiation of gold sweeps the exclusive city leaving her to an EXPRESSION of
beauty and colour which was captured in my strokes sustaining the life within and beckoning on its admirers to pay more attention to the story captured in the faces, the structures and the ground on which warriors thread upon. I see you, you see me...I salute you...you celebrate me
...
