Umana Idorenyin Archibong

Idee Umana is a Bourgeoning artist from Ibiono ibom, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, who was born and raised in the suburbs of Apapa, Lagos. He holds a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) degree from the University of Uyo. Over the years, he has specialized in drawing and painting and also used various media and recycled materials. His interests are based on his immediate African society and a means of giving hope of a better life to those who have lost theirs. He has participated in numerous group Exhibitions around Nigeria, including Life in my City Festival. His commissioned paintings can be found within Nigeria and abroad. Post-Modernism being a recent paradigm in the art praxis since the 1950's, has triggered unconventional stylistic approaches in his paintings and Art generally, in which African Contemporary art may be appreciated in its independent appearance. The muse of the artist relies deeply on the rich traditional exploits of the Nigerian environment and Africa.  “With each brush stroke, the artist expresses himself.” These words are borne out of the concepts and basic needs of art in our African society.
