Abiola Akintola

“The Green Revolution Artist”

Abiola is a true hybrid of different art generations. A native of Nigeria, he began to study formal art at an early age of 9. From mastering the techniques of life-drawings, anatomy, portraiture figure-paintings, and sculpture, he proceeded to earn a college degree in Sculpture and exploited sculptural art as a translational form for representational and expressionistic paintings. Works by Abiola provoke contemplation of the recent past, the fleeting present and the unknown future.

His works delve into multiple layers of meanings and virtual plays to create mystic auras and positive vibrations. In his works viewers enter a different realm of consciousness; a synchronistic and revelatory world of energy, spirit and emotion where spontaneous improvisation, music and poetry are the language spoken.

Abiola is stimulated by many diverse concepts and subjects, but focuses his attention on the intensity of the creative process. He is in touch with the intangible as well as sensory perceptions; making feelings and memories his greatest resource. Abiola states, “The bond that unites the diversity of my interest is also constant in my life, a need to achieve a balance between discipline and abandon are the key recurring components of my work, that mirror my life”.

A resident of south suburban Chicago, he is considered as one of the most innovative and dynamic artist in the art scene today. His works which evoke feelings of passion and spirituality, are an exploration into subtleties and nuances of male/female and human relationship, with creative forces that drive other art forms such as classical and jazz music.

Abiola is an artist who has found his own unique style for which he has been known as “The Green Revolution Artist” as he tries to make his environment cleaner by collecting soda cans he can pick up on the street, shred them manually and then use them for his creations.

In several works, he exhibits a de-constructivist and re-creationist of forms in ways that complement his saturated use of colors. His works has been exhibited and collected extensively throughout Europe and United States and Africa. Abiola recently donated a work of art titled “beyond Parameters” to the United States Sports Academy during a ceremony on July 29th 2008. This work placed second in the United States Olympic Committee Sports and Art Contest organized by the Academy. He served on the voting committee for the international Olympics’ committee Sport and art contest in Lausanne, Switzerland. His portrait of President Obama in 2008 has won adherence by many collectors. In October of 2010, Abiola hosted a large-scale sculpture exhibition featuring sports related artworks at the Guangzhou Museum of Arts.
