Abiodun Olaku, a Nigerian Professional Artist has had his work, "Silhouettes of Labour" lined up with 20 others in the finals of the Atlas Society Art Contest themed "The Entrepreneur: Risks and Rewards". In a very keen contest, one which was earlier moderated by Artists of international repute, Silhouettes of Labour by Abiodun Olaku has generated tremendous interests from Arts enthusiasts. From a distant 6th place, the painting has caught the interest of local and international audiences with a scintillating acceptance that made the work remain on the No.1 spot since 2 days after public voting was open till date.

The work, an oil on canvas painting captures the spirit of enterprise of many families in pursuit of subsistence in the riverine areas of Nigeria. The elements of the painting are well presented and highly engaging. "Silhouettes of Labour" remains the only artwork that made it to the finals from Africa.
