BEAUTIFUL interrogates the artist’s interpretation of beauty; it sheds light on how the evaluation of beauty in art is critical to our state of value and possibly, survival, whilst giving the chance to re-contemplate its definition, especially from the artist’s –point of view-.
This project will bring to bear elements that shape or have shaped the artist’s definition of beauty, ranging from aesthetic compositions to experiential leanings and process, all of which would be succinctly presented through their works (an exhibition by two artists with distinct styles), their words (a documentary film that compiles interviews with select artists) and collector’s intervention (as seen in the display of works from private collections).

It is a continuation of an art project that first opened in October 2019 in Lagos, Nigeria.
As its title implies, it is an exposition, a thorough analysis on a given subject matter; the idea from the inception of the project was for it to be a tour show aggregating diverse views and opinions of artists from different regions on how beauty is relayed in their art. This explains my interest in presenting this project yet again— this time, to collate and display opinions on the subject matter which would be expressed through artistic practices peculiar to South America.
