Artist

The purpose of art is not a rarified, intellectual distillate – it is life, intensified, brilliant life.

Godwin Arikpo has revealed himself in a full set of life stages from his earliest days as a creative being with a high cultural aspiration, displaying an extraordinary combination of courage, talent and adventure.

He is an exposition of diffused and highly intense creative energy, a multidisciplinary experimental artist, creative designer, illustrator and painter with a content driven methodology.

His highly perceptible mixed- media art is a metrical synthesis of Drawing, painting, graphics, mixture, assemblage, and sculpture composed to mutually create new veracity with a more easy-to-read, figurative arrangement. Arikpo’s extensive patois and innovative use of alternate materials and tactic surpasses routine technique, crafting a vigorous pictorial phrase that is not only multi-dimensional but also multi- sensual. He expresses this by fussing beads, fabrics, wood, metal bar, Aluminum sheets, ropes, Plexiglas and corrugated papers etc., into his works.

He also incorporates traditional symbols into his works to authenticate his quest for history with an instinctive, Subjective, contemporary and simple imagery.
