Karo Akpokiere

Karo Akpokiere’s work focuses on fusing experiences and observations gotten from the minutiae of everyday living with his interests in the visual and written aspects of popular culture. His work straddles the line between fine art, graphic design and drawing; it can be political, social, humorous and anything else it wants to be. Akpokiere’s work is marked by the embrace of a spontaneous and where necessary, a research-based approach. His work is an exercise in progress and self-discovery, always changing as new interests and attitudes are formed.

Akpokiere’s work has appeared in group exhibitions including the 20th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil, Sao Paulo (2017), EX-Afrika, Brasil (2017 -2018), International comic salon, Erlangen (2016), 56th Venice Biennale “All of the Worlds Futures” (2015) Making Africa (2015). Solo exhibitions at the Griffelkunst, Hamburg (2017), Goethe Institut, Lagos (2011).
