BIO
Timothy UfuomaEfe Orikri is a freelance artist whose style varies from semi-realism to abstract paintings, hand-painted ceramics and music. Although currently residing in Michigan, he was born the son of a Baptist minister in the Delta State, southern Nigeria. It’s not surprising that this early upbringing has been influential on his perception of the world. His artistic desires – much like the messages given by his father from the pulpit – come in themes of hope, harmony, and the gift of nature. His sincere lifelong desire is to use a wide spectrum of vibrant colors and mixed mediums to create a secure world in which humanity is restored to God’s intended pure state for man at the dawn of creation. Orikri graduated from Delta State University Abraka in southern Nigeria with a B.A. (Ed) in Fine Art. His continually evolving artwork is a marrying of African, European, and American influences which he skillfully bridges the gap between the ancient and modern – never forgetting his roots. He attributes this training in mainstream Euro-American art production techniques to the course he’s followed in expressing his art ideas.

In Timothy's words on this exhibition:
"Scripted fantasies of my dreams both near and far. A schematic rendition of dreams and hopes for a better city (Detroit). My expression in free and splattered colors in creative sequence projects my inner most thought, leaving traces of a prelude to heightened awareness."
Creative Monologue will be running from July 10th-August 28th. The opening reception will be held July 30th starting at 6:30pm. Refreshments will be provided.
