EXHIBITION
No, Façade â Bruce Onobrakpeyaâs ongoing exhibition at Art 21 Gallery (at Eko Hotel and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos)â is not just all about challenging aesthetic canons. Hasnât that always been the theme song of the 88-year-oldâs studio practice? Weaned on the âNatural Synthesisâ principle of the Zaria Art Society â a group which he founded with his colleagues at the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology (NCAST) on Friday, October 9, 1959 â the artistâs works have always been known to appropriate local themes and motifs. This is besides their spanning across both conventional and unconventional artistic media.
