A
20-year-old student, Nissi Ogulu, will soon hold exhibition in Lagos.
Tagged:
“NOORD” the exhibition will hold from January 3rd to 9th 2015 at Terra
Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The artist
is a second year student of Mechanical Engineering at the University of
Warwick, United Kingdom. Her grandfather, Pa Benson Idonije is a veteran
broadcaster and award winning music critic, while her older brother is an A-list
musical artiste Burna Boy.
Words from
the artist say one thing, ‘no barriers’. Therefore, the audience for these
works should not differ as there's something on display for everyone. Whether
you're a banker or a trader, a doctor or a plumber, you're invited to come,
view and buy the works of NOORD on display.
In addition
to visual art, Nissi pays several musical instruments and sings afro jazz,
creativity does indeed run in her genes.
The works that
would be displayed, according to Nissi, are that of an artist who one would
consider, an old soul. Be it a painting of a "Massai Warrior from East
Africa" or an abstract piece which serves as a reflection of the current
times, one thing is certain. “NOORD has the look of art which can be termed
contemporary, but yet nostalgic in the same space. There is never a
defined demographic in mind during the creative process of my work, everyone is
welcome to have a look,” Nissi added.
