Emmanuel Bankole

My name is Emmanuel Bankole. I create my art with the use of traditional fabric pieces called “Ankara” on canvas. Growing up, I was keenly aware of my family’s deep religious background – a situation that has given me a somewhat elevated perspective on life and its ups and downs that still colours my outlook and attitudes to this day.  As a full-time studio artist working from home, I create highly expressive art pieces that emphasise self-awareness and the search for purpose. I am inspired in this regard by events in history and their lessons for our times and what they portend for the future, as well as by the stories, invocations and revelations found in the Bible.
