My Red Apple Series and other Still Life Art Photography

 


The Chinese Agenda.

The Phenomenon of Yogi









The moon is a small bead and the moonlight done with my Torchlight.

The earring is the same small bead. 

The red apple with a gold ring for the still life photographs created by me.





























My Red Apple Series Still Life Art Photography of conceptual and intellectual narratives and perspectives on life, economics, politics, culture, people, places and developments using books, magazines and other objects in my observations.
I created some of the objects I have used for the photographs.

The photographs were shot with my smartphone camera in a guest room during my visit to Uyo, Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria in 2024.
I created the unique red apple with a gold ring as a symbol of conquest and quest for an important possession, achievement, attainment, policy, ambition, mission and vision in the world showing important icons and locations of human developments in Africa, Asia, Europe and America.

Some have been posted on

The photographs are on art canvas and are available for private and public collections, auctions and exhibitions.

My artworks have been exhibited locally in Nigeria and internationally in Japan since when I was 20 years old and co-curated the first Art Against AIDS exhibitions in Nigeria at the National Museum and National Theatre in 1993.
The works of my only mentor in fine arts, the famous Prof. Bruce Onobrakpeya were included in the sold out exhibitions.
