Born in the southwestern city of Lagos, Daniel Gbenga Orimoloye is an award-winning Nigerian artist, based in London, who works with several paint mediums including oil, watercolour and acrylic. Through these mediums, Orimoloye uses his artwork and artistic freedom of expression as a means to explore various socio-cultural features throughout the African continent
About his work, Orimoloye says,
“We must look at concepts, ideas and avenues by which we can change our reality. We must create instances with which to empower the society…My artistic mission is to portray and advocate through allegorical representation and through relationships with organisations committed to working for humanity like Freedom Foundation, a lively and “colourful” hope.”

@Nosalikes and I (@katebomz) are working on producing a Documentary series project which aims to change perceptions of the continent, by diminishing the image of a continent in need of salvation, but rather showing a place full of opportunity and potential waiting to be realized. The show will cover 13 African cities, and will help to highlight the uniqueness of each city, giving the world a better understanding of the wonderful diversity within the continent.
I would love ALL your support on this, getting word out on it, and of course coming to our kickstarter launch event to learn more about the project. So lets get on RT..Reblog, Instagram, Facebook, Tumble, this, that..all the above!
I hope to see you all there.
