Ubiomo Chinedu Ogheneroh and Ayooluwa Nihinlola are technically gifted and creative graphic artists and illustrators evident in their culturally rich works ‘Facial Series’ & ‘Nollywood Legends’.
Ubiomo’s Facial Series, features blues eyed African women with traditional Uli design drawn on their faces. A graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Ubiomo acknowledges influence and inspiration by the Igbo cultural Uli symbols, which gave birth to what he calls ‘kpuri’ which simply means ‘the act of using African symbols’.
Nihinlola’s Nollywood Legends immortalises some of Nollywood’s greats including Pete Edochie, Sam Loco Efe, Bukky Ajayi, and Patience Ozokwor. The project is a 48-page e-book featuring illustrations and brief biographies of the oldies in Nigeria’s film industry.
