Olumide Oresegun: This Omoluabi hyper realistic artworks are so surreal that you will be surprised they are not photographs

Olumide Oresegun

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/63/55/c5/6355c5cf76fb09b60e89778603ffef58.jpg

Oresegun Olumide is a Nigerian hyper-realistic artist. On 8 March 2016, he received media attention in Nigeria and beyond after he posted some of his oil on canvas paintings on social media website Facebook. Born in Ikorodu, a suburb of Lagos, Olumide's love for drawing and painting started when he was 4. He is an alumnus of Yaba College of Technology, Yaba, Lagos where he graduated with a distinction in Fine Art. He cites Pablo Picasso and Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni as his role models.


These hyper-realistic photos are actually oil paintings
By Esra Gurkan, for CNN.

Nigerian artist Oresegun Olumide is taking the internet by storm
His artwork is so realistic that it's hard to believe they're not photographs
He uses water as a recurring theme and paints people from his local community

Water droplets slide down the faces of children as they stare directly at what you could easily believe is a camera.
In fact, they are all paintings by Lagos-born Nigerian artist Oresegun Olumide.
The hyperrealism created in the oil paintings makes his work seem so life like that it is hard to believe they aren't.

With over 18.7k followers and counting on Instagram, his work is fast gaining momentum online.

Water is a recurring theme in his art because according to a popular adage in his native Yoruba language, "water has no enemy," Olumide told CNN.

The use of water gives a translucent effect and, he says, is "why it's difficult for many people to do."
Olumide pushes himself to create art that his community hasn't seen before and that is challenging for him.
He became interested in art at the age of four and started professionally creating art in 2005, Olumide said.
The 35-year-old majored in Fine Art at the Yaba College of Technology , Lagos, graduating with a distinction.
Drawing inspiration from his community, he is creating pieces that reflect the lives of those around him.
His work, he says, is "a gradual process," taking around two to three weeks to create individual pieces.
"And depending on the intricacy I want to achieve, it can take a couple of months," he added.

THAT IS FK081,ONE NAIRA ETC...He is in so much pain that he has to register another monicker today.El Rufai and others just massaged Ojukus' egos because they know that they would relish any sweet rubbish thrown at them.They see them as zombies..
Exactly my point. They don't know that every tribes in Nigeria see them as cry babies with emotional and psychological complex. All what El rufai did was to massage their egos. El rufai would say same thing to any other tribe if they always complain of victimization and marginalization like these Osus

Go ask El rufai and other notable non-Igbos who clearly admitted macro-economic/commercial Igbo dominance all over Nigeria; notably real estate and landed properties, of course I can post VERIFIABLE sources to these fact...maybe the likes of El rufai who stated that Igbos control a huge chunk of properties and inland estates in Abuja few years back knows something we don't know. Lots of Yorubas and Igbos do well both at home and at in diaspora, so no tribe is particularly outperforming the other if we are to go by hard facts and REALITY on ground, achievers abound everywhere! so celebrate yoruba greatness but don't drag Igbos into your slug fest di.cck measuring contest, cause I have literally can't see what Igbos have got to do with a thread that extols yoruba greatness...except the same Igbos are your perennial nightmares...which seems like the case to me.
Is El rufai now your spokesman? Nobody is dick measuring with you chestbeating noisemakers.
