Opeyemi Sanni - Modern Artist
"My work involves creating realms with elements of the real world in them, and capturing moments in these realms that speak tothe physical and social aspects of today in relation to the future/past."
A Visual artist, Graphic Designer, Composer/Sound Engineer and Technology enthusiast. Mr Sanni is a melting pot of creative expression.
​
His current work can be most briefly described as a post modern take on neo-african
expressionism.
Upon deeper observation one can perceive an expression of the old, ancient and historical,
through the new, modern, and futuristic (and vise versa). in his own words,
​
"My work involves creating realms
with elements of the real world in them, and capturing moments in these realms that speak to
the physical and social aspects of today in relation to the future/past."
​
His art finds its voice in the way it expresses the multiple levels of the human mind in the
digital age.
"My work is never happy, sad, tired or excited, but usually a mixture of these feelings, in combinations i am never able to predict until the viewers point them out to me."
​
He is inspired by a myriad of image types and considers todays world of image saturation, an endless supply of inspiration.
His Images of choice vary largely in subject matter but theyre usually connected to his African roots and aesthetic preferences; colonial and Ancient History, Africa, Japanese Animation, The naked body, and the general state of the contemporary Humans.
" The sheer scope of things that i draw from for inspiration, allows for many interesting juxtapositions within my work. Between
The Adult and The child The Old and The new, The past, present and the future."
