Those who appreciate art care about the paintings. Besides, must everything put food on the table?

Sure no Nigerian can do this....



Respect to the west!

I think we can. its just that we aren't exposed to things like these. Graffiti, street arts and all are not our thing. All we know is School, business(like my bro asking how these will put food on the table), social media and enjoyment. Its just our mentality that things like these are frivolous. Besides, wat do yu think the goverment will say if we start painting our roads? but I'll still say...

That's why I love the craziness of the West.


What our government will think?

Lolz it should be what our government would've done....

Cause I foresee top government officials gathering for the commissioning and someone proudly listing them amongst his good works during his tenure.

you go fear naija govt!

Nice paintings tho.... But some can scare the hell outta you

For where?? Commission what? Before one even paints finish nko? How about the harrassment and intimidation you'll face from passers-by and road users? Na to just wake up the next day and see people scrubbing your painting off or yu see a 'Thou shall not paint on roads' sign. Then the Govt that's Suppose to support these artist will set up a committee that'll be punishing 'offenders'
No be Naija?

they look so real

Lmao true

I wouldn't paint it on the road tho... Nigerian roads ain't suitable for this level of art...

It best suit places like play gardens...museums...even hotels and public buildings...

if you get to have this in your compound....
Hehehe your residence will turn to a small Mecca. Lolz

Awesome. Erad, this is Front page material.

Yea, you're very right. Things like this can be done on private properties. I don't mean to sound pessimistic bt, who will paint it? Is it Bayo who is still stuggling to gain Admission into the university, or Mr. John that's busy looking for job? We don't really appreciate creativity. I'm sure if one were to suggest this to a Nigerian artist, he'll ask wat happened to cardboards that he'll start now start painting street, roads and walls. Not that we can't do it, its just our mentality and environment.

Art is not a lucrative business in Nigeria... so you shouldn't expect people to embrace it as a career...

We only have sculptors here and those on cardboards...I'm really not into those stuffs... don't wanna turn my room into an African museum

But I'm Sure those ones responsible for sculpting public figures like those on roundabouts and cultural centres do make quite a fortune...

only that it doesn't Come easy

Maybe if they can upgrade and venture into 3D arts like these... they'll surely pull a crowd

Lol. of course, I don't mean as a career. I mean, C'mon, even graffiti artists get arrested atimes. Its just, we're not devoted to art as a medium of expression and a way of life. We're always thinking of how everything would put food on the table. I mean, let's cut ourselves some slack and loosen up a bit. We can do this, yee-hoo!
