Artist Statement:
ABOUT THE ARTIST
The art of O'nali Promise has
gone through various stages of
incubation; these periods of
his creative synthesis have
been necessary catalysts for
the wide audience and
acceptance his works have came
to receive.
Born and raise in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State, during
the formative years of his
life, Promise was always
driven by the brutal force of
visual reality and
communication. This set him
apart from all the other
students in primary and
secondary school. For him,
visual interpretation had no
specific time, place,
media/materials and support.
As such, he made art
everywhere and with anything.
During these years, his most
handy art materials included
eba, candle wax, boiled yam,
leaves, walls, charcoals,
broom sticks, sand, clay,
cartons, discarded tins, old
news papers, and any material
he could squeeze out colour
from. Due to the fact that
nobody could/wanted to buy him
a separate book for his
personal drawing practice,
Promise made use of the loose
sheets of paper which always
littered the school classrooms
after classes. These he would
sew together with needle and
thread and then, Voila! A
drawing book emerges. He drew
every time and everywhere and
was often scolded...
