Selense The Art Of Dressing Nigerian Shows At Rele Gallery

Dressing up Nigerian has finally come full circle and Rele Gallery, leading contemporary art gallery, is in on the action.


From being allotted glossy pages of lifestyle magazines, to black and white ones in soft sells, to being touted in online media, and Instagram pages of fashion tastemakers, dressing up Nigerian has for the first time gotten its due in artistic form, in a career-defining exhibition, by illustrator and visual artist, Ibe Ananaba.

The exhibition, titled "Selense" opened last weekend at Rele Gallery.

Selense is a collection of 30-odd pieces that capture the bombastic Nigerian spirit of dressing.nationalgeographic.comyohaig.ng</a> In generous strokes, oils and colour, the artist brings to life, women from runways, dandies from the street, show-offs and statement makers for whom extravagance is a statement to be made.
