The Story Behind Devotion
How an IT student who once exhibited at October X became the painter behind Devotion — still learning, still at Nike Art Center, Abuja.
A Father's Silent Love
Devotion celebrates the quiet, unwavering love of the African father — often perceived as emotionally distant, his affection most deeply expressed through sacrifice, protection, and presence. Aikpokhalea Oseremen David first showed his work as an IT student at October X (Beyond the Workshop) in 2025. He has been painting ever since, and continues learning at the Nike Art Center in Abuja.
