Daniel Obasi
Daniel Obasi’s works birth a certain idealism to Afrocentric concepts – whimsical and soft, yet powerfully contrasting with sharp silhouettes, colours and stories. The Nigerian-born artist is deeply concerned with advancing the scope of African narratives. Obasi’s first artistic encounter started in 2012, as an interning graphic designer, and later as a freelance art and fashion writer for “Ours” magazine and Fashion Business Africa. He also interned as a fashion assistant briefly before taking on editorial projects during his second year in university. Since then, his works have been featured in several national and international media platforms. With three fashion films under his art direction – “Embers of Bloom”, “Illegal”, and “Vlisco: An Alien in Town”, Daniel is known for exploring subject matters like sexuality, masculinity, beauty, cultural symbolism, Afrocentric fantasy and human relations.
