In Nigeria, Hennessy Artistry has become a fixture in urban culture; serving as an integrated platform that brings the “art of blending” to life by creating exceptional consumer moments through a fusion of music, art, culture and creative talent.
Osa Seven has always made his personal culture a signature of his artwork, from his earliest illustrations to the graffiti monumental urban art that won him broader recognition. A pioneer in multi-disciplinary collaborations, notably between visual art, music, and dance, he is committed to setting an example on a community level and affecting positive change through self-expression.
“Today I am focusing on opening doors,” Osa Seven explains. “Creating opportunity seems like the right thing to do. When I was younger, lots of people just didn’t believe that a graffiti artist could amount to anything. You have to put in a lot of work and believe in yourself. It takes consistency and persistence. We paint words that will inspire children, like joy, happiness, collaboration, and peace words that will take hold in their subconscious.”
