One Art Gallery Embraces Young Artists with ‘Into The Multiverse’
Abiola Bodunrin, the creative director for the gallery watched as the visitors to the gallery grew to about a thousand. The large compound that housed One Art Gallery in Anthony Village provided a great ambience to conversations, live painting and other experiential activities. Recently, Bodunrin revealed how the on-going show at the gallery attests to the creative energy of the young artists in Nigeria.
Preceded by an open call, the journey towards the group exhibition titled ‘Into The Multiverse’ saw over 150 entries. However, only 21 of them were selected. The experience is curated by Mr Waduud, an artist with an unquenchable appetite for art and its explorations. The show is a parade of 63 works spread across painting, digital as well as 3D installation art.
“The idea for starting one art gallery is to be all encompassing,” he explained. “All kinds of art are welcome here. We have the very first graffiti exhibition that has happened in Nigeria. We have done other shows since then – one in December and this may. We have done three major art shows as well as the art battle.
