Hmmm... Don't u know that just like land, art is also an asset that iys value rises in respect with time.
Just that in this part it is less valued.

Your statement will be truthful about such arts as Van Gogh, very abstract and flat, it diffuses the mind! Beside color there is nothing meaningful in them, yet they sell for millions of dollars.

In contrast, Popoola's arts blend with depth into the spatial vectors, plus they center the mind....what is loosely called "eye candy". They are not sacred....but are symmetrically appealing. These arts are cheap at 3 million naira.

They are some painting, just painting o that are worth more than 100 million dollars.. Not naira..

Talkless of just 3M that is not up 100,000 dollars.

Leave art for art lovers.

One man's junk is another's treasure - meet the Nigerian sculptor turning metal scraps to pieces of art.

Here is Dotun Popoola, a Nigerian man from Ile Ife who is making waves with his artworks from metal scraps.

Al Jazeera English features him.

He wrote:

"I looked at my self in the mirror and tears rolled down from my eyes, not because i received award, but i remember how i started this ART in Agege 1986 as a kid , sketching on our landlords new Mercedes Benz with sharp nails, cutting my dads leather chairs with charp razor blades, all these has put me in troubles, but now i am an artist with special GRACE.

I listen to Mr @oliverenwonwu read my citation for 8minutes and i couldn't believe he was talking about me, could that be me? i think he was reading the story of a man with special GRACE.

I looked at my wife's face @adeolacakes and i saw the joy on her face for saying yes to me seven years ago when i didnt even look like a man that could take her arround the world, i think she is married to a man full of special GRACE.

I remembered how i use to carry my art work inside Yellow bus(molue), from Abule Egba, looking for who will buy on Island, and sometimes i would end up selling it cheaper just to get transport back home, but now only selected few who are well feed�� can afford it, i think you are buying a work of a man with special GRACE.

Key into the GRACE of God and your story will change shortly. Abeg let me go and Weld jare..... where is my apron�, this TUX is giving me heat."

INA OUR BROTHER. I told the yellow heads that creativity cuts across Nigeria but they said only them are creative.

tydi:


In pictures everything looks fine and beautiful but in reality you might not want to waste your money on such frivolities..

And I ask of what use will it be to the common man..
Been a carpenter could have paid that guy the more.

Have you discovered your passion? You did typed rubbish here.

abdelrahman:
Oyinbo people will soon carry am soon from this useless shit called Nigeria

Nope, He has traveled extensively and even honed his art in the US before becoming the maestro he is today. He speaks at forums all over the world, participates at exhibits everywhere. If he lives Nigeria, it's his decision and not because "oyinbo" people came for him

Lmao. You know nothing, Jon Snow. I love the way you're confidently spewing ignorance. Keep it up bro.
The problem with Nigerians is that they think everybody is on their level. Dotun is in a niche market. It is not for everyone.

I'm awed

...with me, or with the sculptor?

How US treats his works vs how Nigeria treats it.

Visual artist Dotun Popoola has expressed anger at the state of a sculpture he created 10 years ago as his final year school project at the Obafemi Olowowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State. The sculpture is a 15ft portrait of Prof Wole Soyinka, which is erected on the ridge of the recently-opened Wole Soyinka Museum at Ile-Ife. The artist said the piece was originally placed on three books that represent poetry, prose and drama, which gave Soyinka his Nobel Laureate Prize. The intellectual aspect of the artwork is damaged, he said at a press conference in Lagos.
Popoola said he had no problem that the sculpture had been taken to the museum, but that the front of the piece was removed, his signature and the date of execution cut off.

Nigeria get problem, and it doesnt care to fix it. mmtccheew
