The March Edition of the SOGAL ART AUCTION organized by signature gallery was indeed a note worthy event. We saw a good number of art collectors come together to show their support for art in Nigeria. This edition featured solely up and coming talents including Olumide Oresegun (Who was recently featured on CNN).

Art collectors complained about the present Nigerian economy, sighting it as the reason why this edition wasn’t really graced with very competitive bids. Without further ado, we will just go ahead to itemize the top bids.

We won’t be calling the names of the bidders, we will only tell their paddle numbers.

No 1: Lot 7: N1,150,000 by paddle number 11

Overall it was an interesting experience and a very thought out occassion by the organizers. The next edition will hold sometimes in May.

Observations: The holder of paddle number 41 really did bid competitively for most of the works.

Olamide Oresegun’s work – Nigerian’s own upcoming artists featured on CNN only managed to bearishly be hammered off 250,000 as lot no: 73 to paddle number 7 – another competitive bidder.

Lot 73: Spilled Kettle Water by Olamide Oresegun
What's your favorite of the works and how much will you pay for it?

Very funny how informative stuffs like don't make front page.

But then even with the CNN hype. How come Olamide Oresegun didn't rake in much. I guess art collectors know what they are looking for.

Seun Lalasticlala please take note of this thread.

Come and see people spending cash under this Bubu administration oh, una come talk say money no dey. The thunder wey go fire poverty dey my house now dey chop Pounded Yam and Egusi.

Lot 80. That's my favorite. I really believe it's worth the price. Since they say art is valued based on perception.

Mynd44 lalasticlala seen take note o... this is front page material, let's promote the Nigerian art industry.

I thought that Jonathan's portrait would make it

mtcheewww

Na only few i sincerely like

They tried buh none is really spectacular

Lot 73: Spilled Kettle Water by Olamide Oresegun is the one I like and can buy

creativity at its best!!!!

meanwhile, there was this topic a week or two ago

about an artist who made almost real drawings. Why are his works

not here?

This made me happy.

Even CNN hype no fit help that dude, selling for 250k is quite poor after the hype..

Olumide should have present either of this two art work now, am very sure it will attract big bidders
Or is it any rule abide to what you can present?

Nice paintings, a lil underpriced. I suppose that will rise with the popularity of the artists. kudos all the same!

benedictnsi:

If na P-Square beef, comments go don full this thread. Anyway, big ups to the artists. Its nice seeing that people spend money to appreciate art

emmaee:
Watin dis people way de buy dis art de carry am do?

One thing about artwork isn't just how beautiful the piece looks. Its about the information the art work passes! Most people that spend alot on artworks more often than not have a connection with the piece. They always can relate with it.
I once had an experience with my boss during my days at BOI, he said that the piece reminds him of his childhood and helps motivate him to strive harder and do better. To him its not about the beauty rather its about the message it passes

Beautiful.



But i no go carry pass 20k price any of them.


I dont see the big deal in art..some will just spill color all over a paper and call it art. And sell it at one ridiculous price.

I better use the money flex. Its just my own view oh and so many other art not too liking Nigerians. Dont carry my matter on your head.

[size=18pt]I love dem ALL[/size]

Wow nice artworks love them!

Nice work, spill kettle and no pain no gain are work of art I won't mind paying same amount and more for any day if resources are available. Kudos to the organisers.

laksides:

Most of the works had been submitted to signature gallery. I think a year ago. The next auction will be in May. He just might be lucky.

A director in shell specifically asked me for Olamide Oresegun's contact. I believe the CNN feature is really doing him well.
