Metal artist, Dotun Popoola, continues his exploration of the cultural and spiritual in making museum-quality art.
IN ‘Metala’, his sixth solo art exhibition opened at The Grandeur Hotel, Lekki, Lagos on December 19, metal artist, Dotun Popoola has continued his synergetic journey in art.
That trip sees him exploring the cultural and spiritual mix of the number 13 with metallic objects in the show under the new entrant, Art Pantheon.
Ongoing till December 30 and curated by Nana Sonoiki, the exhibition theme, Popoola explained, came as an answer to connecting his last solo show with the next one.
“After my last solo exhibition, which had 15 works on display, I needed to reduce the number, so 13 and 7 came to mind. I settled for 13, as I suddenly realised that 13 is ‘metala’ in Yoruba. And ‘la’ means to breakthrough in Yoruba.”
