In an effort to promote an appreciation for the arts in contemporary Nigerian society, the Art635 online gallery showcases and sells the finest in photographic, abstract and digital art, connecting artists deserving of exposure and art aficionados.

Featured on the platform are the likes of Ade Odunfa, a visual artist with an inclination for paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolour, pastel and a variety of mediums. His past work has been featured in The Eyo Festival (2010 – 2011), Calabar Carnival (Floats) in 2013 and the National Sports Festival Opening Ceremony held in Lagos State (Floats) in 2012 amongst others.

Another noteworthy mention is Ben Osaghae, an artist from Benin City, Edo State. In his lifetime, the creative genius was committed to engaging the socio-political problems of Nigeria through his paintings, with works like Marriage of Justice (2001) and Unfair Sentence (2013) telling deep, insightful visual stories.

Lastly, for the purpose of this post, is Victor Asowata. The award-winning artist explores the use of cartoons, digital art, paint and the collage medium, with works like Streetlife and Lagos Street to proudly call his own.
