ADEDARE OLUFERE

 

Born and raised in the ancient city of Ibadan, Nigeria, West of Africa, Dare Olúfèrè, as he is popularly known, is an African enthusiast. He is a graduate of Music from the Nigeria premier university, University of Ibadan. His works of art, both in painting and Music, revolve around Africa and her heritage dying by the day. He ventures into the deep, sacred, and rich culture of his people, Yoruba, thereby erupting values at the culture's bed to reflect contemporary societal conditions.

He is influenced by Nigerian veteran artists such as Ebenezer Akinola and Taiwo Fadare in impressionism realism. Dare discovered for himself a functional and yet aesthetic style. He recently started exploring shades of indigo as a result of its historical importance to the black race. He centralizes his message using Ifa, the Yoruba ancient form of divination and philosophy, coupled with some other African motifs to buttress his point.

Dare has participated in exhibitions in Nigeria- Life In My City (LIMCAF) by Alliance Francaise Port Harcourt and Ibadan Art Fair, 2019.
