Graffiti art is set to take centre stage as A2Creative and Osa7 host the 7th Element, an art exhibition featuring works by foremost Graffiti artist, Osa Okunkpolor.

The exhibition which holds on the 28th and 29th of May will focus on works Okunkpolor has created in the last six months.

Speaking on Graffiti as a form of art, Adaora Mbelu-Dania Head Of Innovation at A2 Creative said:

“Graffiti has evolved over the years from just tagging your name on walls in one color, to experimenting with different colors, huge pieces, always been a beautiful and creative way to express feelings from the beginning of time”

She stated that although art in Nigeria has been viewed as elitist, the A2 creative group is working towards changing that perspective by creating a platform for Nigerian Graffiti and urban artists to share their heart, and showcase their work in it’s most interactive form.

Osa Okunkpolor, popularly known as Osa 7, is an urban GFX and Graffiti Artiste with a passion for telling stories using contemporary art.

He uses stencils, spray paint, epoxy, varnish, paper and boards as his chosen medium.

This will be his first public exhibition and his works will not be limited to canvas or walls, he will also create artwork from shoes, drink cans, tires, kegs, and a KIA Vehicle as a prelude to his next art project that promotes recycling.
