The Nigerian artist Darton X brought his brilliant colors to the ICBIE last night, and they radiated their light on our community, which is always receptive to any manifestation of African culture.
Peter Oluwadare Adeniyi was born in Ikere-ekiti, in the Ondo region of Nigeria, in 1968, and he began painting at the age of six. By the time he was ten, he had won Third Prize at the West African Art Conference. After university studies in Italy, he returned home to share his experiences with many prominent African artists, an exchange that permitted him to develop a highly personal style, combining cubism with traditional art to create a phantasmagorical warp, full of gleaming colors.
