FCMB, Eko Tag rewards artists at Art Express 115

It was another display of talents when some artists filed to flaunt their expertise at the just held Art Express 115, an event organised by Eko Tag team in conjunction with a leading bank in Nigeria, First City Monument Bank (FCMB).

The competition, which was designed to engage, as well as reward the art community in a live art competition, staged five artists at FCMB, Sanusi Fafunwa Plaza, Victoria Island, Lagos  State.

The competition, which also showcased the beauty of art, featured how the contestants explored their talents, as some drew in direct approach of clean lines and high contrast rendering. Some also employed bold or stark pen strokes to portray the values of the institution and others creating colorful renditions using vibrant oil paint.

However, the pieces were judged based on uniqueness and technique with the top two picks from Obi Chigozie and Abiola Sodiq, while the  joint prizes from organisers and sponsor  were handed out to all participants by Nigeria’s Foremost Graffiti Artist, Osa Seven.

According to the organisers, the sponsor is known for its culture of excellence and encouraging the emergence of fresh art talent, as one of the financial institutions in Nigeria, and one that has shown immense support for the promotion of Nigeria’s arts and culture since it partnered with the Eko tag platform.
