Experiencing Lagos: Niike Art Gallery by Mcwrath02: 8:26pm On Apr 20, 2015 |
Four floors high, Nike Art Gallery is enormous and holds a massive amount of art work, as thousands of artwork occupy almost every inch of space on the wall. Each of these floors present you with Nigerian art in every medium; painting, mixed media, digital, metal work, wooden sculptures, and the list goes on. Nike Art got its name from the founder, Nike Davies Okundaye, an artist and designer on a mission to improve the lives of disadvantaged Nigerian women through art by teaching the unique techniques of indigo cloth dyeing(also known as Adire) to rural women. Nike found that the traditional methods of weaving and dying that had been her original inspiration were fading in Nigeria. She used her international success to launch a cultural revival, building art centers where young Nigerians master traditional arts and crafts. see more photos from the gallery at :http://farabale.co/2015/04/16/experiencing-lagos-niike-art-gallery/ 1 Like
