Abiodun Olaku - Lunar Symphony (Story of Makoko), 2023

Abiodun Olaku.

Peter Eneji's artistic journey mirrors the evolving narrative of his surroundings. Raised in the transformation of a government residential area into a slum in Abuja, he uniquely interprets life as a semi-average Nigerian child, a perspective that profoundly influences his art's themes and philosophy. Elevating his passion, Peter earned a bachelor's degree in painting from the Cross River University of Technology in Calabar, Nigeria. Along his creative journey, he benefited from mentorship by leading contemporary Nigerian artists like Abiodun Olaku, Wallace Ejoh, and Joshua Nmesirionye. Their influence not only refined his skills but also revolutionized his approach to creating art.\n\nResiding and working in Abuja, Peter Eneji's paintings encapsulate the essence of contemporary Nigerian life. Through bold and expressive strokes in acrylic and oil mediums, he explores themes of social change, modernism, and the intricate dynamics of human emotions. As a member of the Elbowroom Art Movement, Peter significantly contributes to shaping the ever-evolving landscape of Nigerian contemporary art. Peter's artistic trajectory boasts notable achievements, including winning the Painting category of the Afi Ekong Visual Arts Competition in 2018. His painting "The Weaver's Dirge" from the "Behind the Veil" series now resides in the prestigious Didi Museum's art collection. Participation in exhibitions such as "Becoming" (2021) at Terra Culture Art Gallery in Lagos and "Resilience" (2020) at the Residency Museum in Calabar underscores his artistic prowess.
