About the Item
Dear Agapay
Don’t be afraid to shine
your hair is beautiful
and your skin is unique
I am the only drug that is needed
I am stepping over everything I used to trip on
I am the only topic and the top pick
Hardly seen, always noticed
Highly humble but yet aware of my worth
I am melanin the incomparable beauty.

His works generally emphasize mood. Alogi john was born in Lagos state, Nigeria, during his intense experimentations on how to distinct his style and approach of paintings from regular realism, his study so far has made him realize that painting of puzzles are more understanding to solve issues so far there are missing parts which need to be filled. His works appear to gaze vividly back at us, they engage silently back and forth in an unspoken negotiation. Alogi's paintings are distinctive in their patient rendition of the puzzles on the subject involved. His works explore different aspects of the African diaspora and pay homage to his Nigerian identity. His paintings have been featured in some group exhibitions in Nigeria including 'life in my city' LIMCAF state level 2018 and were among the 10 ten finalists of the next of kin 2019 competition in Lagos Nigeria. His paintings are portraits of himself, friends, relatives, and neighbors to tell stories of his experiences and his emotions about his race and country in general, adding puzzles to the subject to tell the stories of how incomplete his life experience and environment as been. He became a full-time studio artist working and mastering the puzzle technique with the use of acrylic and oil mediums. His mode of execution of his artworks with the use of puzzles looking exactly like real puzzles on his subjects often leaves the viewers inspired and enchanted. He often uses acrylic and muted tones of colors and vibrant colors in the background with the trademark of flowers in the background to create beauty around his subject matter when he works with human figures. His subjects emphasize mood, emotions, and experiences.

- Giving Up Is Not An Option 2By Alogi JohnLocated in Ibadan, Oyo"Giving Up Is Not An Option" presents a visually striking composition that immediately captures the viewer's attention. The young man, painted in intricate detail, is depicted kneeling on one leg, his posture conveying both concentration and determination. His eyes are focused intently on the missing piece of the puzzle, which lies on the floor before him. The presence of the loyal dog serves as a symbol of unwavering support and companionship, providing comfort and encouragement in the face of challenges. The puzzle, with its fragmented state, represents the complexities and obstacles encountered in life, while the act of searching for the missing piece embodies the relentless pursuit of solutions and completion. "Giving Up Is Not An Option" encapsulates the message that resilience and perseverance are essential qualities in the face of adversity. The young man's kneeling position demonstrates his willingness to take a pause, reflect, and confront the challenges that lie before him. Despite the apparent difficulty, his focused gaze and determined expression convey a refusal to succumb to despair or resignation. The dog's presence symbolizes loyalty and unwavering support, serving as a reminder that we are never alone in our struggles. Alogi's artwork imparts a powerful message of resilience, urging viewers to persevere and seek solutions even when faced with the most daunting circumstances. "Giving Up Is Not An Option" is a significant piece within John Alogi's larger body of work, the "Fixing the Missing Part" series. This series explores the notion of searching for completion and resolution in various aspects of life, be it personal relationships, self-discovery, or societal challenges. Each artwork within the series presents a visual metaphor for the inherent human desire to mend what is broken or missing. Alogi's unique ability to capture the essence of these concepts through symbolism and expressive brushwork creates a deeply resonant visual experience. Alogi's artistic style showcases a fusion of realism and symbolic abstraction. His attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the young man, the dog, and the puzzle piece. The artist's mastery of light and shadow enhances the depth and three-dimensionality of the composition, while his color palette adds emotional resonance to the artwork. Alogi's ability to infuse his subjects with palpable emotions further amplifies the impact of his artwork, inviting viewers to engage on an intellectual and emotional level. John Alogi's artwork, "Giving Up Is Not An Option," serves as a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the unwavering human spirit. As part of his "Fixing the Missing Part" series, this masterpiece invites viewers to reflect on their own capacity to confront challenges and seek solutions, even when faced with fragmented circumstances. Through Alogi's artistic expression, we are reminded that despite the complexities and uncertainties of life, we possess the inner strength and support systems to overcome obstacles. "Giving Up Is Not An Option" stands as an inspiring reminder that, like the young man in the painting, we have the ability to persevere and complete the puzzle of our lives, one missing piece at a time.
