Meet the Artist: Godwin Tom Sunday

My Culture, My People : Black History Month Event at ASCEND Charity UK

We met Godwin Tom Sunday a few months ago when at the peak of the global COVID19 pandemic, we featured him in one of our Meet The Artist events. It is with with great pleasure that we welcome him again to showcase his artwork and help to facilitate an art workshop at and event organised by #ascendcharityuk,

Since the last time we saw him, Godwin has continued to produce engaging art as you can see below. He will be using one of his pieces as a theme for the creative session on 21st October, 2020, from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

For Godwin, art is a means of going deep into one’s innermost feelings and producing a visual representation of the mind. The artist must capture characters and stories, expressing and sharing his thoughts and technical ability. This time, he makes a case for artist integrity and self value.

Godwin works with oil paints and his patchwork stroke technique adds dimension to his normally very large canvases. His portrait characters are large, yet you can see into their souls through obscure figures whose figures can sometimes barely be made out.

October is the month Black History is celebrated throughout the UK and as usual, I am asked by various organisations to support their activities. Every year I come up with a theme that creates cultural awareness and I share information about my African heritage, This year, I have gone global.

Imagine a year where globalisation has become more apparent in that we are living and working online. Reconnections have happened and new acquaintances have been made through social media.

With this in mind, I have collaborated with my artist and designer friends living n Nigeria, Poland and the UK, to bring you a robust programme that will not only engage and educate, but will provide creative opportunities for you and your family to talk, share, create and bond especially over the school holidays. The My Culture, My People event will run from mid October to the end of November. Every month is Black History Month.

Most sessions are free and you will be given a kit list or the opportunity to buy a kit for the creative activities if you book on time. All sessions are online this year.

Over the next few days I will be introducing the artists, and designers as well as featured organisations to give you a taster of what is to come.
