MEET OUR GUEST LECTURER

 

 

KOLA AKINTOLA

 

 

Kola Akintola is an artist of rare ingenuity, his perspective is as wide as his gaze on each of his works is intense. He possesses an especial capacity to make art works from common and unlikely things.

 

 

His works serve as an experiment to understand the delicate intersection between 'art and life', 'art and anatomy', 'form and media'.

 

 

He believes that this interesting conceptualization of form and media arose from his attempt to blend his initial training in Human Kinetics dealing with real forms with his subsequent training as an artist dealing with "imaging". This is 'imaging' not as in photography but as in the faucouldian frame of things, in nature and in life things exist in themselves at particular times and in particular spaces as regimes of truth. Almost as isolates.

 

 

Kola's latest path-breaking skill is found in his new form / style which he called "Vein Painting". This is an inventive and brilliant use of organic materials laid on a background which throws it out in relief such that lines of fibre are used to give imaginative meaning to form.

 

 

It is a stylistic as well as technical improvement on his use of organic fibre.

 

 

Kola Akintola's art works have become academic studies in some universities in Nigeria and Colorado university in the United States of America.

 

 

He has had several art workshops and exhibitions around the world, and represented Nigeria at some international art discusses in the West Coasts of Africa. 

 

 

He runs an art studio cum art gallery and he is the Proprietor of "Institute Of Art Technology here in Ibadan, as an outlet to training the younger ones in proper artistic acquisition.

 

 

He is always poised to saying "Everybody is an artist, but not every artist can become a great one, but a great one can come from anywhere"
