Visual Poetry: A Critical Perspective of Narrative Events in Practice of Watercolour

Abstract

Personal perspectives are influenced by experiences over a period of more than two decades in practice and interacting with green spaces, other artists through their works and concepts. Standing by road or travelling across the length and breadth of the Northern Nigeria, it is common to see men lined up on bicycles and women carry firewood and sticks in juxtaposition with green space. Our fascination to patterns in nature and other references from photograph of places inspires and stimulates our intellect and imagination. The uniqueness of the spontaneity of watercolour is the end product. Watercolour has become a media that is not attracting artists in Nigeria. This paper is recommending an attitudinal change to bring about a rebirth in watercolour media.
