Solomon Omogboye's captivating artwork, entitled "United in Prayer" depicts a group of young children with their hands raised in a position of prayer, symbolizing a shared moment of devotion, spirituality, or contemplation. The vibrant, contrasting colors layered over the detailed figures suggest the emotional depth and energy behind this quiet act. The collective posture of the boys emphasizes unity, connection, and the strength found in shared faith or reflection.
Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, Solomon Omogboye, born in 1982, emerges as a luminary in impressionist painting. His artistic journey burgeoned through dedicated art and industrial design studies at the Lagos State Polytechnic, complemented by a tenure at the prestigious Lagos National Theatre. In 2007, his exceptional talent earned him the esteemed AADS Best Artist of the Year award, marking a milestone in his illustrious career. Transitioning from shaping young minds as an art educator, Omogboye embarked on a new chapter in 2014, settling in South Africa to further expand his artistic horizons.
Omogboye's expansive portfolio is a testament to his versatility, employing mediums such as charcoal, pastel, acrylic, and oil on canvas to articulate his thoughts and visions. His vibrant creations have graced esteemed exhibitions across diverse locales, from the bustling streets of Lagos to the cultural hubs of Johannesburg, Franschhoek, and even Théoule-sur-Mer, France. Defined by bold brushstrokes and whimsical renderings of the human form, his art resonates both locally and internationally, positioning him as a trailblazer in Nigeria's artistic landscape.
Rooted in a profound appreciation for life's inherent beauty, Omogboye's art serves as a mirror to the complexities of existence, embracing imperfections and celebrating the essence of being. For him, painting transcends mere technique; it becomes a conduit for channeling intentions and fostering a deeper connection with the world—a sentiment that reverberates through each stroke of his brush, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and find beauty in the everyday.
