Bassey Effiong Ndon is a multitalented Nigerian painter,experimental artist and digital
artist with a master of fine arts degree from the University of Uyo, Nigeria.Born on the 6th
of November, 1974, a lecturer of painting in the University of Uyo, Nigeria, and a national
award winner with various art exhibitions in Nigeria to his credit and several private
collections, he has over the years been engaged with African symbolism, dance culture and
social commentaries. As a lover of music and the digital medium, his work tends to musical
themes of creative expressions. Lately he has been researching into interpreting African art
with the digital medium.
His inspirations mostly come from the need to take a new journey into the unknown, to capture
a glimpse of light in life, and to make a statement that resonates greater than we all
imagine.
Bassey has over the years explored various media with diverse experiments with colour , line,
geometric forms and the occasional infusion of the Uli designs and Nsibidi symbolism - the
traditional artistic decoration for communication and marital rites in Southern Nigeria. This
style and aesthetic adventure embellishes his expressionist style which he implores to express
his Africanism . His research into the digital medium gives a new vitality in the aesthetic
rendition of African art using much motivational themes and social comments to air his
views.
Bassey's works is a visual narrative of the romance between colour and emotional instincts
curled up in a frenzy of embellished thoughts of symbolism. In Bassey's abstract digital art
he investigates the three-way dialogue that exists between the view, the art work and the
understanding. He explores personal and interpersonal relationships in his colour and form
interplay, attitude and solitude in emotion, frenzy and the hazy.
Art, as a way of life empowers, motivates and propels the drive to creativity and
achievement, and as such there is a need to be influenced by this energetic force that
instills discipline, patience and the will for self-development and advancement. Art is that
vehicle that conveys human thought from concepts, via processes and experiences into the sea
of vibrancy and aesthetic excellence.
I create works based on various feelings brewing within my soul and on my personal
philosophies and experiences. Most of my abstracts paintings stretch the human imagination
into spheres of the unknown, though sometimes elements of human forms are often introduced
with light controlled drips of paint that is hoped will stretch into limits in the aesthetic
process.
My paintings are philosophic and inspirational in conceptualization, vibrant in chromatic
orchestration, and highly fervent in intensity and expression. With expressive, agitated
strong brush stroke distribution in pictorial space coupled with a dynamic flow of colors and
a few adaptations from digitalization, I am fully convinced that my thought will transcend
areas of ordinary rationale into a far deeper aesthetic dynamism.
