Using a combination of imagery drawn from memory, observation from life and improvisation, Tega Akpokona (b. 1991) creates atmospheric and figurative paintings, intentionally liberated from specific points in time that examine various aspects of the human condition as forged by cultural influences. Drawing on personal life experiences and his admiration of great artworks from art history, which he views as a continuum, his work reflects on present-day realities and issues associated with the human condition, identity and politics of the black body, regalia, and the juxtaposition of diverse cultural notions exploring postcolonial cultural hybridization. Light is a central theme in his work as he plays with the effects of dramatic chiaroscuro and rich colors to portray his subjects as divine beings. The viewer is invited on a journey of self-reflection and interpretations, nuanced by their individual perceptions of reality. Tega lives and works in Lagos.

Uniqueで行こう
全員に好かれる必要はない
あなたと合わない人に、
あなたの価値を認めさせなくていい。
時間もエネルギーも消費するだけ。
その方たちの元からは
笑顔で離れましょう。
あなたの個性を光らせ続けましょう。
あなたと同じエネルギーの方たちが
あなたの光に氣づけるように💛🧡
Be unique.
Be who you authentically are.
Let your uniqueness keep shining to find your true soul friends ✨
