‘The Evil Genius’ collection is a remarkable, first-of-its-kind fusion of contemporary African art and music. Mr Eazi commissioned 16 unique pieces, each corresponding to a track from his forthcoming album of the same name.
As he crossed the continent recording the album, from Ghana to Rwanda, Mr Eazi forged relationships with artists he encountered along the way. Noting a lack of alignment between Africa’s exploding music industry and the continent’s fine arts creators, he realized he could enhance the album’s story, as well as bring fresh attention to African art, by incorporating their work into the project.
The featured artists represent eight African nations, and each brings their own unique perspective, resulting in a diverse range of aesthetics and techniques. From bold and vibrant paintings to intricate drawings, the collection is a powerful statement of African creativity and ingenuity.
The collection showcases the many ways in which contemporary African art is flourishing today and offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of African culture — a must-see for anyone interested in the world of contemporary art.
