Actually Mafdet I do prefer Kolonjis one!! lol

The colour image looks better than the monochrome one and the background adds to the romance of the picture. The embrace looks more natural too.

@Basic Meo

That would be great because the two artist I posted at the beginning of this thread are two of my favourite and I love the Earth and child one.



@Drunk

I see what you mean what I like about Wak is his attention to detail as in the Lock and Key united picture what caught my eye is the mans thumb on the womens thigh you can actually see the dent in her skin from his thumb and on the man he doesn't just outline muscle definition you can see the vains in his arms as well......I find it very detailed. As for the Kolongi piece you may find this strange but I enjoyed the background features so much the light of the moon on the water against the darkness that I would prefer if the couple was more in the background or not in the picture at all. To summerise I would've brought the background forward as the main feature and place the couple far back like where the waterfall is. I have no proof but it suggest to me that some of waks pictures must've have been done earlier and some more recently as I see a difference in the quality of some compared to others. He's not my favourite artist though!!!! Larry Poncho Brown gets my thumbs up as one of my favourites.

Hey Drunk on a lighter note Kolongi's embrace may look more natural to you but Wak's embrace in Lock and Key United is more applicable and feasible....check it out the women's legs is being held by the man and her back is being supported firmly, but in Kolongi its not......... so leg ache will set in much quicker ha ha ha LOL!

[align=left]

Born on December 29, 1969, Kelechi Amadi-Obi obtained a Law degree at the University of Nigeria Nsukka in 1992, and was called to the bar in 1993. Since then, he has devoted himself to art, focusing extensively on life drawing, using both live models and photographs. His nature studies involve keen technical experimentation with the paint medium. Depending on his subject-matter, he sometimes strives relentlessly for an airy water color effect with oil paint, in the process creating works such as Reflections and Seated Woman. At other times he avidly concentrates on the slick viscosity of the medium which he captures in works such as Lawanson and Tussle for the Road. Kelechi has produced a number of portraits in oil for clients, but he is a his eloquent best in watercolor studies of nature and female bodies. A full time professional artist, Kelechi has today proven himself to be one of Nigeria's contemporary artists to watch. Serious about the technical quality of his creations and dedicated to his chosen subject-matter, he is equally fervent in his love for art. His studio is a gathering place for fellow artists to commune, display and critique each others' works. Kelechi's works feature in several private collections within Nigeria and abroad. His commissioned works range from illustrations for several calendars, Magazine cover designs to portraits.
