Africa’s premier online gallery, Artyrama, will host an experiential digital art gallery for two days with the launch of a collection of contemporary African art by 10 emerging artists, curated by renowned art critic, Jess Castellote.  Artyrama will also host its first offline digital gallery that allows guests to physically experience Artyrama’s debut interactive gallery featuring 10 new artists’ colossal digital catalogue will be curated by renowned art critic Jess Castellote.

Art enthusiasts from collectors to novices are therefore invited to attend the event on Saturday and Sunday, December 9 and 10, between 1pm -7pm at 9 Alhaji Bashorun, Off Norman Williams Street, Ikoyi, Lagos.

The highly anticipated exhibition will feature original works created by a new wave of pioneering urban artists from across the country. Artyrama is proud to be showcasing the latest work of the following artists: Dipo Doherty, Ayobola Kekere-Ekun, Tunde Alara, Ifedoyin Shotunde, Promise O’Nali, Ken Nwadiogbu, John Madu, Abba Makama, Stacey Ravvero. With exclusive original paintings and limited edition prints, the emerging artists’ theme has been explored in its broadest sense, the artists’ inspirations range from current day realities of living in Nigeria, nature, a re-imagined future and dreams.

The Artyrama team will also have an Art Advisory clinic, where interested guests can consult with them, talk through the artwork and share industry insight on investing in art.

While speaking about the event, Castellote, stated, “The gallery is not a gallery in the traditional sense as it exists online. This pop up will be the first of many Artyrama exhibitions, where each exhibition and location is curated around a theme. Every piece of artwork on display has a strong concept and technique, which creates beautiful visual pieces to be enjoyed by everyone. We have purposely selected a range of pieces for all budgets to encourage the existing and new enthusiasts to be at the forefront of the new movement of contemporary art.”
