Description of the work
- Media Oil on Canvas
- Location LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL MAIN TOWER 1F
Godfrey Banada is fascinated by natural phenomena and explores the nature of
objects. This is solved through painting and shows the artist's own story by combining themes such as Ugandan culture and mythology. By combining the artist's own philosophical way of thinking and original colors, it was born into a work rich in primary inspiration and imagination of nature and humans, and the surreal and abstract artist's style of painting makes you feel the beauty and energy of African art that influenced Cubism.
