Most prolific exhibiting art gallery, mentor of artists and most charitable, Alexis Galleries, is at it again. This time, it is with a group exhibition of paintings, sculptures, and mixed media titled Brilliance which opened yesterday, the 28 of September, and runs till October 5, 2019.
Brilliance will parade the works of seven brilliant artists: Patrick Agose, Ato Arinze, Paul Ayokhai, Chukz Okonkwo, Busayo Lawal, Luke Osaro and Moses Ibanga. Six out of the seven exhibiting artists who spoke to Vanguard about their works exuded confidence that the show will be a huge success. Luke Osaro, another sculptor brings to the exhibition, On My Wedding Day, Desert Princess, Adam’s Heart, Daring, Emancipated, and Perseverance. But painter, Paul Ayokhai, perhaps hauls the largest number of works at the exhibition which include Man in Blue, Passage, Whistle Blowing, Lovers, Royalty, Pepper, Music and Cow & Cake.
As usual, Alexis Galleries will donate part of the proceeds from the Brilliance exhibition to another charitable NGO, Sought After Women & Children Foundation. James Amedu social worker at Sought After, told Vanguard that the foundation which presently caters for 42 kids in its Orphanage and 15 girls at its Rehabilitation Centre, has funding as its greatest challenge.
