Artist Statement:
To me, a true work of art can
be described as a
juxtaposition of complexity
and simplicity. Art must be
filled with strong emotional
content and be based on the
perception, expectations and
experiences of the artist. I
always make every effort to
create my paintings based on
these three concepts, but most
especially, art must be
timeless, with as much
intrinsic relevance in today's
world as in the future.
One of the major objectives in
creating my paintings in my
desire to fulfill an emotional
response, rather than focusing
on the subject matter. I
always choose to present my
work in strong, bold colors,
with an overall reliance on
lines and forms to give it its
distinctive nature. Through
the use of these colors and
forms, the subject is
transformed into its
essential, formative concepts,
both of simple and complex
nature....

| Your Personal Biography |
Timothy UfuomaEfe Orikri is a Michigan-based Nigerian artist with a unique philosophy towards life is reflected in his approach to painting, ceramics, and music. Orikri aspires to use his artwork as a means to contribute towards societal change and, to that end, works to formulate projects that will profoundly alter and enhance society.
Orikri was born on November 1965 in Delta State, southern Nigeria. The son of a Baptist minister, he communicates to his audience through a wide spectrum of vibrant colors. Though he does not deliver his message from the pulpit like his father, his work resonates the similar themes of hope, harmony and the gift of nature.
Currently, Timothy Orikri is seeking participants to join him in his 'Compassion Through Art & Life' project. This collaborative project will provide participants an opportunity to portray their quest for peace and a better world, the need for compassion, and an expression of gratitude for the armed officials that have served the United States in a great laudable way, making our world safer. Completed project will be donated to veterans hospitals. |
