RE: Meet Surrealist, Nigerian Artist: Iké Udé
that paperclip monacle alone is a work of art!
can see the seeming Dali bleed-through in every frame, though, not to at all insinuate that the work of Iké truly resembles anything i've ever visually experienced.
the use of space and color leave the eye reeling and forces the viewer to spend enough time adjusting to truly take in the surreal vision of each still.
i'd venture to say that even Iké's quotes are works of art:
Selfies are an embarrassment to Narcissus.
is one of the best things i've read today.
had fun reading your tribute to an amazing visual storyteller, Yahia, thank you so much for the share!
Ude is a consummate artist, with his own distinct visual style and yes, of course, his ‘quotes’ are art - they’re called aphorisms.
When last in New York, I was fortunate to sit for him & I’m proud to be a part of his Wonderland :)
Glad you enjoyed this introduction to his work, dear @carmalain7!
it would seem you had quite a hand in hand in making this wonderful addition to the vibrant landscape of Iké's Wonderland, indeed, Yahia, this is so cool!!
thank you for sharing, good sir ^_^
“Quite a hand...” Good one 🤪 Yes, we collaborated on the photo shoot - I gravitated towards the fez & The Hand!
Sweet dreams, my friend, and thanks for the smiles 🤗
