Last Tuesday, June 25, 2024, was the birthday of one of the most compelling contemporary African painters, the Nigeria-born Fidelis Ugochuku Atumah Abiamuwe, aka Atumankanism Afrikanism, who lives and works as a full-time artist in New York, USA. As though to commemorate his new age, Atumankanism shared on his social media handle, his most recent works painted in 2024. One of those works is titled “SOUL TIES”.
