In Episode #77, Ross is joined by Anthony Azekwoh, a contemporary artist and author based in Nigeria, whose work focuses on African folklore and mythology.
Anthony uses diverse mediums, such as digital and traditional painting and sculpting, to explore transformation and change in his country. He replicates traditional techniques through digital mediums, producing physical, corporeal manifestations of his work. His art has been seen worldwide, with clients like Facebook and celebrities such as Masego and Adekunle Gold.
Ross and Anthony discuss the lack of representation for African Artists in Web3 and how he thinks the space will evolve over the coming years. Anthony also shares his realisation about Instagram that drove him to start working with SuperRare.
