Kelani Abass

Kelani Abass (Born 1979) is active/lives in Nigeria.  Kelani Abass is known for Mixed media painting, themes of past and present.

Kelani Abass explores the importance of material heritage and the archive as a bridge between past and present. The photographic image is the starting point of multi-layered works. Multifarious painting and sculptural techniques are dissected and analysed to propose a new understanding of a photograph as being both a creative medium and object of memory.

In this way, Abass brings to light fragile, personal testimonies of a Nigeria celebrating independence.
